Servers
The Edu POD currently consists of a storage server (educstor01) with 24 4TB disks, three Dell PowerEdge R410 compute servers (educcomp01, educcomp02, educcomp04) with 8 cores/16 hyper-threads and 64 GB of RAM, and one Dell PowerEdge R720 compute server (educcomp03) with 12 cores/24 hyper-threads and 192 GB of RAM. All server hostnames are in the ccbb.utexas.edu domain (e.g. educcomp01.ccbb.utexas.edu).
There is also now a virtual host name, edupod.cns.utexas.edu, that acts as a front-end, redirecting requests to specific back-end compute server based on server load. This virtual hostname can be used to access SSH, R Studio and JupyterHub servers unless a specific host is required (e.g. if a tmux or screen session is desired).
Software
The Edu POD will have all standard POD utilities and bioinformatics software installed. In addition, instructors wish to make use of both web-based application servers: JupyterHub server with Python 3.4 and R Studio server, so those will be installed on all EDU Edu compute servers.
