Access to iSolutions HPC systems

Authorisation

Before you can gain access to our HPC systems you will need to be authorised to use the system. More information is available in our subscribe pages.

Connecting to our services

All HPC services are located in our machine-rooms and so it is not possible to login directly. Instead you will need to connect from another computer, either your own, or perhaps an iSolutions workstation. The recommended connection method is via Secure Shell (SSH). You should connect using your iSolutions username and password. (forgotten your password?) See our Using SSH page for more details of how to access the ssh package, use it to connect to a remote server and transfer files.

Connecting from off-Campus

Only the Solaris service can be contacted directly from off-campus locations, for other services the recommended method is to use VPN. See the What's related links for more details.
