Cloud Research Computing Consulting

Consulting service for researchers wishing to use Columbia-provisioned cloud accounts for research computing.

CUIT’s Research Computing Services (RCS) team offers consulting services for researchers that would like to use Columbia-provisioned cloud accounts for their research computing.

Depending on your needs, our consulting services can address any of the following topics:

  • Overview of the features of the Cloud service provider
  • Creation and initial configuration of images
  • Software installation and license management
  • Storage configuration
  • Planning workflow for efficiency and/or price


In order to provide as effective a service as possible, we ask that interested researchers contact the RCS team at [email protected] before beginning to use an account for research. Please note that this service is only available for accounts that have been provisioned by CUIT.
