The Research Support Services (RSS) group provides computing support, training, and consulting to the UM research community. Our staff works closely with researchers to help evaluate their research computation needs and recommend solutions that allow them to take full advantage of the resources available. RSS also works to ensure that the campus’ computing, storage, and networking infrastructure meets the growing needs of the research community.
