Our current hardware includes:

• 4 Dual 12-core 2.1 GHz AMD Opteron 1U Grid Nodes
• 24 Dual 2.2 GHz AMD Opteron 1U Grid Nodes
• 2 Dual 1.6 GHz AMD Opteron 4U Administrative Nodes
• 1 Dual 2.4 GHz AMD Opteron 5U 8TB Storage Server

We have full gigabit connectivity with a 10 gbit backbone locally and 1 gbit fiber to the University of Mississippi backbone.

Our Internet2 connection is currently a 10 Gigabit, 10 GigE pipe. It is a part of the Mississippi Optical Network (MissiON).
