Data Storage and Computing – AI & Digital Health Innovation Data Documentation

Data Storage and Computing

AI&DHI data must be stored in one of the following HIPAA-compliant locations. Contact the Data Solutions team with any questions.  

Secure Enclave Services (SES)
SES provides a private cloud environment that provides high-performance, secure, and flexible computing environments enabling the analysis of sensitive datasets restricted by federal privacy laws, proprietary access agreements, or confidentiality requirements.  SES is administered by the University of Michigan Academic Research Computing group. Software tools available in SES include MATLAB, Python, RStudio, SAS, SPSS, and STAT 15.

Armis2 (Linux Environment)
The Armis2 high-performance computing (HPC) environment is a Linux-based high performance computing cluster (equipped with some new GPUs) used for analysis of sensitive data administered by Advanced Research Computing. Researchers can use Armis2 to access the AI&DHI Health Data Platform.

We can connect you with ARC to get access to Armis2 – just open a ticket here; or feel free to open a ticket directly with ARC here.

Turbo
AI & Digital Health Innovation provides secure storage and computing environments for researchers using AI & DHI data. Turbo is a high speed network storage platform offered by ARC-TS for research purposes.  It can be mounted in Secure Enclave Services (SES) or other high performance computing environments. Turbo is administered by the University of Michigan Academic Research Computing group.
