\n CSSCR-TS1 (formerly Titus)<\/span>\n <\/div>\n
CSSCR-TS1 is a Windows Server 2012 R2 terminal server oriented toward general desktop computing and qualitative analysis<\/b>. Eligible users can obtain an account and log into CSSCR-TS1 using a Remote Desktop Connection from any computer. When logged in, CSSCR-TS1 users see a familiar Windows desktop environment (a session) where they can use statistical and qualitative analysis software packages.<\/p>\nWho is eligible?<\/h3>\n
Faculty in the UW College of Arts and Sciences and our member units<\/a> are eligible for access to CSSCR-TS1, as are their research assistants or students attached to a faculty-directed project. If you are a student not affiliated with a faculty member currently conducting research on Titus, but are looking for remote computing services, check out the CSDE Terminal Servers<\/a>. These are STF funded remote desktop servers loaded with social science computational software and designated for student use.<\/p>\n Send an email to csscr@uw.edu with the subject line: \"CSSCR-TS1 account request\". In the body of the email, please include:<\/p>\n CSSCR-TS2 is a Windows Server 2012 R2 terminal server oriented toward high throughput quantitative computing<\/b>.
