HiPerGator-RVΒΆ
HiPerGator-RV is a secure computing environment where researchers and their collaborators can perform computations on and store restricted data as classified by UF. See the UF data classification guide for details.
The software middleware of the system is tiCrypt, and is developed and maintained by Tera Insights in collaboration with the University of Florida to address the needs of researchers working with restricted data, specifically projects requiring compliance with NIST 800-171 and NIST 800-53 standards. The actual work is done inside virtual machines running Windows or Linux operating systems and applications.
Interactive work on the data is done from VMs running on infrastructure inside the vault. The size of the VM can be controlled by the developers and researchers so that applications that need multiple cores or large amounts of memory have the resources to run efficiently. Very large workloads and complex, multi-task workflows can be run interactively or asynchronously on the HPC resources inside the enclave. The HPC resources have been configured to support high-performance access to the data storage system.
