• escsCore1: the node running ESCS containers and GPFS storage
• escsHost: the node running virtual machines for user access, and the web server
• escsCore2: unused at the moment, spare room for more containers
• escsRemote: the node running VNC servers for accessing the system
• escsConsole: the node providing access to the system by operators for accessing the system, will have IDL and QuickLook tools installed
