NUMEN for Higher Education

Give every lab a governed scientific application workspace.

NUMEN gives universities an AI-assisted research compute platform with 125+ predefined scientific applications and counting. Researchers can launch pipelines, Core IDEs, notebooks, data tools, and custom environments through a scientific lens instead of a raw infrastructure portal.

University stakeholders

NUMEN serves every research stakeholder.

Researchers need fast access to trusted tools. PIs need reproducibility and budget visibility. Research IT needs governance and orchestration without becoming the bottleneck.

Postdoc researcher

Runs experiments and analysis under publication pressure without rebuilding fragile environments.

PhD student

Builds and tests new pipelines quickly without learning AWS by necessity.

Principal investigator

Improves lab output, reproducibility, budget visibility, and grant-funded research velocity.

Research IT

Enables self-service research compute while preserving access, cost, and governance controls.

How NUMEN Works

From research intent to governed launch.

Researchers can start from the NUMEN home page, select the Application Catalog, or use the AI Agent for recommendations. Either path ends with reviewable compute, storage, budget, and launch choices.

NUMEN home page

Researchers choose the Application Catalog or use the AI Agent to translate a scientific need into a launch path.

Scenario 1: AI chatbot recommendations

The AI Agent recommends applications, compute, storage, cost controls, and review steps from plain-English research intent.

Scenario 2: application catalog

Researchers browse predefined scientific applications and select tools from a curated catalog built around research domains.

Launch infrastructure

NUMEN presents a reviewable launch configuration with budget guardrails, idle-stop choices, and human confirmation.

Scenario 1

Launch using AI Chatbot Recommendations

Researchers describe the scientific workload in plain English. NUMEN turns the request into practical compute recommendations and can adjust the answer as workload size changes.

Scenario 2

Using Application Catalog

Researchers can also start from the catalog path, choose scientific application groups, review platform guidance, and move toward a governed launch without writing infrastructure tickets.

Catalog selection

Select Applications in the Catalog

Application cards show scientific tools, license needs, open-source status, operating system fit, and workflow orchestration options before launch decisions are made.

Launch Infrastructure

Before launch, NUMEN summarizes CPU, memory, GPU, storage, cost, setup time, idle-stop, data sources, and single-node or cluster deployment options.

The problem

Expert scientists are buried in infrastructure.

Computational biology, genomics, and proteomics teams often lose valuable time provisioning cloud servers, rebuilding environments, fighting configuration issues, and waiting on institutional IT processes.

Manual provisioningResearchers maintain cloud servers and dependencies instead of running experiments.
Fragile toolchainsEach new pipeline or project can require a new environment setup.
Waiting for resourcesShared clusters and IT queues slow iteration and publication timelines.
Budget uncertaintyLabs need autonomy, but finance needs visibility and guardrails.
Deployment options

Choose the model that fits your institution.

NUMEN can be delivered in a Clovertex-hosted model or installed within a university-controlled environment, depending on data sovereignty, compliance, and IT requirements.

Clovertex cloud-hosted

A secure, dedicated environment managed by Clovertex for fast deployment and minimal infrastructure burden on university IT.

University-controlled environment

NUMEN deployed within the institution's cloud or network boundary for stricter data sovereignty or compliance needs.
