Thank you CIRC!

The Center for Integrated Research Computing (CIRC) has just donated three Dell servers. These servers not only allow us to replace our old dying VM server, but also provided us with the resources to better support our remote members in these times.

Some of you may remember that Spring 2020, we were looking for a new HBA controller for setting up our new lab infrastructure. It was CIRC that provided us with the controller. Both these times, it was Carl Schmidtmann who took time out of his busy schedule to make sure that we can get the hardware that we needed. Without his help, none of the recent changes in the lab could have happened.

So thank you, Carl and CIRC, for continuously supporting us throughout the year, especially in these difficult times. Your generous contributions to the CIF lab will be utilized to provide better service to not only our members, but the entire campus community.
