URI access to SPSS

[msdisme]

URI would like to run the SPSS GUI for a class of 400-500 people.

It sounds like @Milstein and @DanNiESh had a discussion with the URI folks - could you guys add more details here?

It looks like the GUI version may be run with RHEL 8 or 9 and folks can VNC into it - is that waht they intend to do?

@hpdempsey Hi Heidi - It may not work for this semester, but could you help us explore whether any work is being done to add support for OpenShift Containers, or VMs with Openshift for SPSS?

[DanNiESh]

The discussion with URI IT staff last time was Openshift was not suitable for their use case. They need to run the class on Openstack and VMs, it was my impression.
