HPC at UVA

High Performance Computing (HPC) systems are tailored to data sensitivity.

Rivanna/Afton (Standard Security)

These systems are used to process and store public data, internal use data, or sensitive data. Highly Sensitive Data (HSD) is not permissible.

More information on the SSZ HPC can be found in our Intro to HPC slides.

Rio (High Security)

Rio is designed for processing and storing HSD such as HIPAA, FERPA, Controlled Access Data (CAD), etc.

Rio is not CUI certified yet; use the Ivy VM instead.

For more information, please see RC Systems Data Sensitivity.
