Campus Cluster Program

ITS is excited to be a part of the University of Illinois Campus Cluster project. Investing in the Campus Cluster allows UIS faculty to have access to high-performance computers to meet the research need for high-scale computing.

UIS currently has 22TB (soft limit) and 24TB (hard limit) of space to utilize.

The Campus Cluster maintains a variety of core software and libraries to support computing activities, including R, Java, Mathematica, and MATLAB.

NetID & Password

Your Network ID (NetID) is a network login assigned to you that is unique across all University of Illinois campuses. It serves as your login to many University computing and networking services.

Your NetID is the part of your e-mail address before the @ symbol. For example, if your email address were jdoe123@uis.edu, your NetID would be jdoe123. Your NetID has a password associated with it, this password is commonly called your NetID password. It may also be referred to as your Active Directory password.
