The application of high-performance computing (HPC) processes, tools, and technologies to Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) creates both opportunities and challenges. Building on our experiences developing, deploying, and managing the Research Environment for Encumbered Data (REED) hosted by AWS GovCloud, Research Computing at Purdue University has recently deployed Weber, our locally-sited HPC solution for the storage and analysis of CUI data. Weber presents our customer base with advances in data access, portability, and usability at a low, stable cost while reducing administrative overhead for our information technology support team.
