<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">Hello OMERO developers,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Courier New""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">I’m a faculty member at a small liberal arts college in the US with a decent microscopy core facility. In order to make the most of what we have, I thought it would be good to try to get OMERO up
and running. Jason suggested that I ask questions to the development team. <o:p>
</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Courier New""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Courier New";color:black">Right now our facility consists of 1 Olympus confocal, one Zeiss PALM (the laser tweezer PALM, not super-res), one Zeiss Axioimager, 2 shuttered live-cell systems, and 3 other fluorescent scopes (8-12 systems
in total, depending on how you count). My guess is that we generate less than 1TB/year. We’re talking with our systems support folks about getting an OMERO server up and running, but I don’t know the computer side of things and they don’t know the microscopy
side of things. They’re asking about server specs (CPUs, RAM, storage). Our primary interest in the set-up is centralized storage/archiving of our imaging data and allowing access for data analysis from workstations not attached to the actual microscope.</span><span style="font-family:"Courier New""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Courier New";color:black"> </span><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">Our IT specialists would like to get some idea of what the specifications would be for a system that would suit our needs. Any input would be greatly appreciated.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Courier New""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
