Invest in Compute Hardware
The minimum buy-in is one compute node. If you are interested in purchasing nodes with special configurations (e.g. very large memory, different CPUs, GPUs, etc.), contact us for pricing. We also offer additional storage on our high-speed filesystem.
All equipment and infrastructure costs are approved to be charged to grants. Infrastructure fees are fees that cover the fair share portion of shared system components. Those fees vary by system type/configuration and are currently paid for by the Illinois Computes program.
You can also submit allocations via the Illinois Computes program to get access to FREE compute and storage services.
NOTE: Pricing listed is current as of 4/28/2025. However, pricing is currently fluctuating regularly due to tariff concerns. Prior to a node order, we will provide you with an up-to-date, specific quote for the node(s) you request.
Place An Order
You can place an order by clicking the button below which will open an email message directed to our ticketing system with the subject line pre-populated. Please include the quantity, billing CFOP, and specified configuration from our list of available configurations (listed below) in your message. A member of our team will reach out to you with any additional questions.
NOTE: We require new investors to meet with the program office prior to placing an order.
Prices listed below include the total cost of equipment for the initial 5 year lifespan of the equipment. Infrastructure fees are fees that cover the fair share portion of shared system components. Those fees vary by system type/configuration and are currently paid for by the Illinois Computes program.

Illinois Computes
The Illinois Campus Cluster Program is currently recommending users interested in the RCaaS service to submit an allocation request to the Illinois Computes program.
The Illinois Computes queue hardware specifications:
- 16 – Dual AMD 7713 CPU, 512GB RAM, 25G nodes
- 4 – Dual AMD 7763 CPU, 512GB RAM, 4x A100 (80GB) GPUs, 25G nodes
- 1 – Dual Intel 8562Y+, 1.5TB RAM, 8x H200 (141GB) GPUs, 100G nodes
An Illinois Computes allocation is great because researchers are able to get access to free compute on newer nodes than the ICCP RCaaS nodes. The Illinois Computes program also has GPU resources available.
NOTE: All ICCP customers will be required to sign the Service Level Definition for the product or service they purchase. These SLDs outline policies related to these purchases. Find the appropriate SLD for the product or service you’re considering here.
