“Why RCD?” One-pager Highlights Value of Centralized Research Computing and Data Resources

Research computing and data (RCD) resources are essential infrastructure for modern universities. When delivered through centralized, shared services, they provide far more than just computing power—they enable collaboration, efficiency, and institutional competitiveness. Centralized RCD lowers costs through economies of scale, reduces risk with professional management, and strengthens recruitment and retention by ensuring faculty and students have access to the advanced tools they need. These resources are not just technical assets; they are strategic investments that drive discovery, innovation, and leadership across the institution.
