Note: Some of the entries on our Wiki page have two versions. The one labelled (old| refers to the present default SW cluster. The version labelled |new) pertains to the Frontenac Compute Cluster. In the coming months we will be moving our user base to that cluster. See our Migration Guide for details.

Hardware Note: We are currently undergoing a restructuring of our hardware platforms. This means that this section is likely to change frequently. Specifically, our Solaris-based systems are going to be decommissioned in 2016. They will be replaced by x86/Linux based hardware.
