The systems initially will be configured with [Rocky Linux 8](https://rockylinux.org/) with software and file organization very similar to the [RPWG](https://space.physics.uiowa.edu/plasma-wave/) systems managed by Larry. Similarly, a login on any system will provide access to all the same software, user, and data directories. If you need to scale up to utilize more compute resources, you only need to run on multiple servers.
The new servers are sometimes referred to as "SPDR" (pronounced spider), the "ITF" systems, or the "Oakdale" systems. Interactive workstations in VAN are effectively integrated with the SPDR servers, sharing file system, user account, and software resources. Our current plan is to migrate CentOS 7 workstations to Rocky Linux 9, making them compatible with the newest applications.
The systems at the ITF in Oakdale were the original "SPDR" (pronounced spider) systems, although now we use that term to refer to all of the integrated systems, workstations or servers, configured to share the same login directories, data directories, and software resources. Our current plan is to migrate CentOS 7 workstations to Rocky Linux 9, making them compatible with the newest applications.
