Research Computing Transition Announcement1 messageThu, Oct 10, 2024 at 11:03 AMUniversity of Maine System <chancellorsoffice@maine.edu> Reply-To: um.arcsim@maine.eduTo: October 10, 2024To the University of Maine System community,We are writing today to share a strategic change that will enhance and expand the supportof research computing available throughout the University of Maine System (System). Tobest leverage existing resources and improve the overall quality of research computingservices, the University of Maine System Information Technology (UMS IT) AdvancedComputing Group will be integrated into University of Maine Advanced ResearchComputing, Security, and Information Management (ARCSIM) effective today. Computing and data storage services for the entire university research community willremain available and operational throughout the transition and will continue to be availableto all System universities.This realignment is intended to improve the efficiency and scalability of our System’ssupport for research computing, including high-performance computing (HPC), dataanalysis, data storage, visualization, and related services. The combined expertise andresources will better address the System’s growing research computing needs andprovide a consistent, centralized support system operating under ARCSIM’s federallycompliant service center structure. Additionally, the improved efficiencies throughstreamlined processes and optimization of resources will allow for enhanced services,faster response times, lower service costs, and greater accessibility.We have scheduled two informational webinars this month (to be led by ARCSIM DirectorShane Moeykens) to discuss the transition and respond to questions and comments.Those who have ongoing projects or upcoming needs are encouraged to reach out to theARCSIM team (um.arcsim@maine.edu) to discuss support for their work during thetransition.Session 1: Friday, Oct. 11, 10-11 a.m.Session 2: Tuesday, Oct. 22, 2-3 p.m.University of Maine System Mail - Research Computing Transition An... https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ik=6098647e0e&view=pt&search=a...1 of 2 10/10/2024, 11:11 AMRegister for Session 1 Register for Session 2Joan Ferrini-MundyVice Chancellor for Research and Innovation, University of Maine SystemPresident, University of Maine and University of Maine at MachiasRobert PlacidoChief Information Officer, University of Maine SystemFor assistance accessing the content of this message, email UMSCommunications@maine.eduThe University of Maine System is an equal opportunity/affirmative action institution.Copyright © 2024 Maine's Public UniversitiesPlease note, unsubscribing from this mailing list will remove you from all University of MaineSystem operational emails including time-sensitive messages regarding System policies,benefits information including open enrollment deadlines, health and safety information, andChancellor's messages.Maine's Public Universities | Estabrooke Hall, 15 Estabrooke Dr., UMS Operational email.
