We host various servers for different purposes. Quick selection guide for selecting the right server:

• To run computational analysis, use bix1.uef.fi , intron.uef.fi or exon.uef.fi.
• To use software with graphical user interfaces, use exon.uef.fi.
• To access servers outside of UEF firewall, use codon.uef.fi.

More detailed information about the servers:

• Description: Control server for computational cluster. Use this server to launch batch processes using the SLURM system. The SLURM system is the primary server infrastructure for scientific computing hosted by the UEF Bioinformatics Center.
• Access: Using SSH or Remote Desktop Connection within UEF firewall.
• Guide: BIX servers

• Description: Remote desktop computer for running tools with graphical user interfaces.
• Warning: This server is not meant for running resource demanding analyses, do not run software that consumes multiple (>10) computing cores.
• Speficications: CentOS 7, 42 computing cores, 400 GB of memory.
• Access: Using SSH or Remote Desktop Connection within UEF firewall.

• Description: SSH Gateway to University of Eastern Finland intranet. From codon.uef.fi server it is possible to connect to exon.uef.fi and bix.uef.fi. Codon server is also connected to the bio-fs1.uef.fi fileserver.
• Access: Using SSH from everywhere
• Guide: Codon SSH Gateway Server

Git-based version control system. Two separate installations, one accessible only within UEF firewall, one also externally.

Access: gitlab.uef.fi (within UEF firewall), bioinformatics.uef.fi/gitlab (external access).
