Serving UC Irvine's Technology Needs
Your UCInetID is for your individual use and grants access to a range of University resources. You can also get a UCInetID for shared use such as an email address for your lab.
Zoom is inexpensive and easy-to-use software that allows video and audio collaboration over the network. You can, for example, host a virtual meeting with research collaborators at other Universities.
Mailman mailing lists allow for easy email communication with and among small groups of people with shared interests - a research topic, members of a lab, users a software package, or customers of a vendor. Mailman is configurable to allow open communication or moderation, and archives email threads for later review.
If you want to set up a simple lab web site, or a collection of resources related to your research field, a faculty web site is easily set up and maintained on the WordPress platform.
If your web needs are more elaborate than what WordPress can easily support, advanced web hosting offers more resources and features.
UCI G Suite includes a wide variety of collaboration tools: Drive for storing and sharing files, office tools (Docs Sheets and Slides), a Calendar, Forms for simple surveys, Jamboard (an interactive smart whiteboard for training or brainstorming) and many others. UCI Google Apps makes it easier to share with a UCI-only audience.
UCI has contracts for discount licensing of a wide variety of research oriented software: Matlab, Mathematica, Labview, SAS, SPSS, JMP, ArcGIS, Tableau, and others.
UCI's shared high-performance computing cluster is available to participating researchers for compute-intensive research projects.
The Campus Research Storage Pool offers cost-effective and high-performance storage of large research data sets.
Set up a backup schedule and be protected from data loss
LightPath is a segment of UCI's network tuned for research use involving transfer of large data sets.
The Data Center offers secure and climate-controlled housing for your important hardware.
UCInet is secured against off-campus access for the protection of research data. If you have a server in your lab, and need access to it from off campus, register it with the campus firewall.
If your server needs are modest, your server doesn't need to be a physical machine at all. Virtual servers are reconfigurable and robust against outages.

Your system can be configured and maintained by expert administrators, freeing up your time for research.
The Secure Research Environment provides a computing and storage environment which conforms with the new NIST/FISMA security standards for sponsored research and provides new options for future research needs.
With the Virtual Private Network, you can work from off campus as if you were on campus, directly connected to the campus network.
