Stallo Shutdown

Dear Stallo Users,


Stallo is getting old and will be shut down this year. Hardware failures cause more and more nodes to fail due to high age. The system will stay in production and continue service until at least 1. Oct 2020, the end of the current billing period (2020.1).
We will help you with finding alternatives to your computational and storage needs and with moving your workflows and data to one of our other machines like Betzy, Saga and Fram. News, updated information and howtos will be published on the Stallo documentation as we move closer to the shutdown.
If you have questions, special needs or problems, please contact us at migration@metacenter.no

Thank you for your understanding
