I am working on some academic research projects that include scanning large data sets using Python. The organization has been uncomfortable working on the Linux server because (1) I do not have super user access, which means that I rely on IT staff to install my packages, and (2) my disk quota to some extent Is limited (I respect Want to get 10 GB) What is the easiest way to get access to machines that solve these problems? I do not need large processing power; I just need access to a fast machine at a fast speed which runs 24/7, so that my programs can run continuously, and above all, it is very easy to walk, use and maintain, because I have some Non-CS people are working with me this project Linux will be better, but I will also consider Windows.
I am aware of Amazon Web Services, but I am thinking that what is more suitable for my specific needs.
By the way, if I could get some kind of remote desktop access on this machine, then this would be a huge bonus, so I was not limited to using SSH and SFTP.
Suggestions?
Suggestions?
EDIT: I can not use virtualbox or virtual PC because I need a program that runs around the clock, and I have to close my laptop often, etc.
if you want to stick to running on your CS department machines If so, use your package to solve installation problems. And if disk space is a problem, you can use (and perhaps FUSE) to store a lot of data in a very cheap way.
However, if this is not really yours then I can highly recommend it. They provide you one - so you have complete control over what has been established, users, administrators, etc. In principle, it is very much EC2 (which I like to use for "real" servers), but there is a favorable interface, great customer service and the purpose of small projects like you.
