Computational Services and Bioinformatics Facility

Overview of Services

The CSBF provides a variety of Macintosh, Windows and Linux software for scientific research and general administrative use. The CSBF obtains concurrent network licenses that work under the control of a software license manager. This allows the facility to purchase a limited number of copies of expensive software but distribute the software widely within the Stanford network thus providing a substantial savings to the individual researcher.

Researchers can gain access to these software products at a significantly lower cost, through a yearly membership in the CSBF. The CSBF also shoulders the hidden cost of installing and managing the licenses and license servers.

When your lab becomes a member of the Bioinformatics Resource, you gain access to

• Mac, PC and Linux software
• Specialized hardware

For Beckman Center Researchers we also provide:

• Desktop Support
• Computer Backup Services
