Hi, Nate,

How are you? Last week our director attended a meeting at New York and got some information from you. I just visited your homepage "http://galaxy.psu.edu/" he mentioned.  We have some question to "Use Galaxy" and "Get Galaxy". We want to figure out how our PIs at NIH can use them. Do you have any information regarding the 2 above issues? for example, slides, introduction, and links, etc.

1. Which servers are available for users to use right now? Are they free? Is there any restriction? for example, file size, speed, etc.

2. Is there any difference between "local version" and "cloud version"? What are they different and benefits?


Please let me know if you have any suggestion.


Best Wishes,

Yan

Do you mean the database server itself?  If you can connect with the
'mysql' command line interface, it's up.  If you are worried about
corruption, you can check the MySQL logs or use 'mysqlcheck'.
