The New Mexico BRIN/INBRE Bioinformatics Core has constructed the BRIN/INBRE Computational Biology Facility, located on the New Mexico State University campus.  Some of the hardware capabilities include the following:

• Compute cluster: A cluster of 32 CPUs, divided among 16 nodes, provides compute services for the Computational Biology Facility.
  

• Database server: A relational database server, running the highly reliable and SQL-compliant PostgreSQL database engine, provides databasing services.  This server has approximately 5 TB of RAID disk storage connected to the server via a SCSI bus.
  

• Web server: A web server, running Apache, provides access to the database and serves additional web content.
  

• Print servers: Two redundant print servers provide access to a variety of printers dedicated to the BRIN/INBRE project.  Among the printers is the HP Designjet 5000ps poster printer.
  

• File server: The Facility's workstations and servers share common files through a network-mounted filesystem from the file server.  This machine has approximately 5 TB of RAID disk storage connected to the server via a SCSI bus.  All of that capacity can be made available to other machines as needed.
  

• Tape backup library: A robot-accessible tape backup library is available for archiving data.  A total of 24 TB of tape capacity is available online.
  

• Gigabit ethernet: All of the Facility's servers are interconnected through fully switched gigabit ethernet connections. Furthermore, a full gigabit connection is available from the NMSU gateway routers directly to the Facility's servers.
