Requesting Access to Rio

Principal Investigators (PIs) can request access by submitting an Ivy Linux VM request through the services app.

Research staff may apply for an exception.

Students must be sponsored by a faculty or research staff.

In addition to being a login node to Rio, a Linux VM can be used for preliminary computations as well.

VMs comes in different sizes. Request a VM sized appropriately for your workflow. For larger groups or projects with computationally intensive tasks, choose a larger VM. We recommend Small and above.

VMs exist in a private, secure network and cannot reach outside resources on the Internet. Most inbound and outbound data transfer is managed through the Data Transfer Node (DTN).

More information on requesting a VM can be found here on the RC website.
