Storage and Backup
We provide 20GB of storage on our Windows systems to all PRI researchers. We can assist you in encrypting, backing up, and storing your data on our secure servers, and provide project storage on an as-needed basis. We can also help set up your SharePoint space and RCC space. There are many storage options, so feel free to contact us at ssri-it@psu.edu.
Software & Equipment
We have an application server dedicated to research computing. This server provides access to expensive licensed programs that you would otherwise have to purchase (e.g., Stata and ArcGIS). PRI also has a number of laptops, projectors, and tablets available for short term sign out.
PRI Computer Lab
The Computer Core supports a 12 machine PC lab located in 806 Oswald Tower. Some of the software available for use in our lab include HLM, Stata, and SAS.
