Scheduled OSC System Downtimes

There are currently no scheduled downtimes.

New scratch storage policy implemented

The Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) has implemented a new scratch filesystem storage policy. The purge period has changed from 90 days inactivity to 60 days inactivity to help alleviate recent storage stress on our scratch filesystem: https://www.osc.edu/resources/security_accessibility_and_policies

Change is Coming!

Later this fall, OSC will be introducing a major change to the current process clients use to get help. We will be rolling out a new web-based system for clients to manage and review open cases with the service desk. More information will be forthcoming over the next few months, so keep an eye out for messages on various OSC communication channels, as well as at https://www.osc.edu/service_portal_deployment .
