Dear Faculty CCR users,
Happy Holidays! We have
two important announcements for the end of the year. Please pay careful
attention to both as they impact faculty accounts and storage at CCR.
First, based on feedback from
many of you, we are happy to announce that CCR now has a new lower cost storage
option available. This storage is not backed up. However, we hope
that it meets the lower cost needs that some faculty groups have
requested. The storage is priced at $150/TB with a minimum purchase of
10TB. The price is a one-time charge and is good through December 2019.
Initially, the maximum available will be 50TB per group but please contact us
if you require more. Please see our storage
options web page for more details.
Second, with the approval of
the CCR
Faculty Advisory Committee, faculty will now be required to renew their project
annually. The short, but important renewal
process is described in this knowledgebase article. This renewal
process leverages our new resource subscription management portal, Coldfront.
In addition to account renewal, Coldfront allows faculty to see
what CCR resources they have access to, easily add/remove users from their
projects, and update their research information.
Please know that the annual
account renewal is not a request we make lightly – we are very respectful of
your time. However, the project description, publication and
funding information that is part of the renewal process provides CCR (and UB
administration) with valuable return on investment metrics. We have
tried to make the process as easy as possible (for example publications can be
uploaded by DOI).
Your subscription to the
UB-HPC academic cluster will expire on January 31, 2017; therefore, you need to
login to Coldfront and
renew your account before then. You will use your UB/CCR
username and CCR password to login. If you need to reset your password
you can use the identity management portal: https://portal.ccr.buffalo.edu.
Instructions can be found here: Identity
Management Portal. If you received an email a few weeks ago
from Dori Sajdak and did not activate your account at that time, please contact
her for a new activation email. Until your account is activated, you will
not be able to login to Coldfront.
IMPORTANT: Please note, that
if you do not renew your account by the end of January, you risk the
deactivation of all accounts under your group.
As always, please contact me
directly if you have any questions or concerns. For questions of support
or the renewal process itself, please contact CCR Help (ccr-help@buffalo.edu or https://ubccr.freshdesk.com)
We appreciate your cooperation and support.
