We are pleased to announce the upcoming launch of Hopper, our new secure high performance computing cluster, scheduled for deployment in Summer 2025. Upon completion, Hopper will have undergone rigorous external auditing for NIST 800-171 and HIPAA compliance, making it suitable for high performance computation of electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI), NIH Controlled-Access Data, Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), and other sensitive data types.
This secure computing environment represents a collaborative effort between the YCRC and Health Sciences IT, to ensure enhanced support for secure computational research.
Hopper complements Yale’s secure computing portfolio, which includes SpinUp+ and Computational Health Platform (CHP), developed to address the diverse secure computing needs of the Yale research community.
We anticipate Hopper will be fully operational and available to qualified Yale researchers by July 2025, with access procedures to be announced in June.
