There are a number of servers to support advance research computing as well as the teaching mission of the institution. We now have our own virtural machine environment, in which we can build you or you can build your own machine.
On the production Virtual Environment we also support:
rstudio.colby.edu
git.colby.edu
hobbes.colby.edu (a Shiny server)
The academic virtual environment is focused on short lived VMs.
Examples are course based galaxy server, otree, orsee, photo scan, bioinformatics command line server and a variaty of rstudio server instances.
