Overview

Below are the price estimates to be used for planning possible node investments within Beartooth. This type of purchase is only available to UWyo faculty PIs. See https://arccwiki.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DOCUMENTAT/pages/1627815937/Cost+of+resources+and+services#Compute for explanation of our investment model.

NOTE:
Price estimates are valid for UW Internal users, only.
These are estimates and ARCC will go out to quote/bid for new purchases. Price is subject to market conditions and is usually within a +/- $2,000 margin per node relative to the numbers listed here.
UWyo faculty PIs will pay actual cost for equipment, ARCC does not include any additional markup or fees.
