CDM Department Server Infrastructure (CDM-021)
The DePaul Resource Map documents CDM Department Server Infrastructure as shared research or teaching infrastructure at DePaul University, Jarvis College of Computing and Digital Media, School of Computing (department IT / server rooms), Loop, from reviewed sources. This listing needs review: a current standalone DePaul webpage confirming the full description has not been identified. Department-level server and lab-compute infrastructure supporting CDM research labs, classrooms, and server rooms—distinct from the HPCC GPU cluster but part of the same research compute ecosystem. Access: 🔴 Red — Restricted.

Description & capabilities
Department-level server and lab-compute infrastructure supporting CDM research labs, classrooms, and server rooms—distinct from the HPCC GPU cluster but part of the same research compute ecosystem.
Access status
- Access: 🔴 Red — Restricted
- Rationale: Department server infrastructure is described in grant/facilities narratives without a public self-service access policy; typical use is restricted to SoC/IT-provisioned research and teaching accounts.

Verification
- Status: ? Needs review
- Rationale: Department server inventory derives primarily from grant facilities drafts; no public operational page confirms current machine list or provisioning.
