[ome-devel] Wanting to get an OMERO instance up and running

[William Moore (Staff)]

Hi,

 Have you seen our docs pages at
https://docs.openmicroscopy.org/omero/5.3.3/sysadmins/system-requirements.html

There are also some examples of set-ups at https://docs.openmicroscopy.org/omero/5.3.3/sysadmins/server-setup-examples.html
although these are likely more substantial than your current needs.

Hope that helps,
Let us know if you have any more specific questions…

 Regards,

  Will.

Hello OMERO developers,

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.


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.

 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.
