Scientific Data & Computing Center

[RACF Computing Facility Staff <announce AT rcf.rhic.bnl.gov>]

As we approach the conclusion of 2019 and look forward to the coming year, 
the SDCC would like to thank you for your cooperation and contributions to 
the success of our computing mission throughout the past year, and to wish 
you and your families a joyful holiday season.
 
We are excited to offer you an opportunity to test some of the new services 
we will provide to our users, as our facility expands to continue to meet 
your computing needs:
 
BNLBox
BNLBox is a cloud storage service that enables BNL users to store their 
scientific data and documents locally, and makes those files accessible and 
available from anywhere in the world with internet access. The files stored 
in BNLBox can be easily shared with other BNLBox users, as well as with 
external collaborators. You can find more information about using BNLBox here:
https://www.sdcc.bnl.gov/#storage
And you can register for and use the service here:
https://bnlbox.sdcc.bnl.gov
 
JupyterHub 
The SDCC offers multiple JupyterHub instance and back-end combinations for 
different users and accounts. You can find out about SDCC Jupyter hosting, 
requirements, and how to get started here:
https://jupyter.sdcc.bnl.gov
 
Mattermost
Mattermost is an open-source, self-hosted, secure Slack alternative for 
communication. Mattermost is hosted locally on the BNL site, features 
unlimited conversation history, and supports TLS encryption using AES-256 
with 2048-bit RSA on all data transmissions between client applications and 
the Mattermost server, along with on-disk data encryption. You can learn 
about this service and how to start using it here:
https://www.racf.bnl.gov/docs/services/Mattermost
 
We encourage you to try these new services, and to provide feedback to help 
us improve them and make them even more useful to you. As always, please 
contact us if you have any questions or suggestions:
