How can I log in securly?

Every user must register with our identity server in order to log in. This is to ensure there are no unauthorized access to the platform.

How can I integrate Digital Hub™ with my own database or storage device?

• A cloud-native Postgres database is created by default for each project. This default database is automatically linked with other project applications such as Superset and Grafana as the default data source. The default database URI is also made available in your Jupyterlab as an environmental variable.
• External databases may be configured manually. Currently only Postgres Databases client are natively installed. However, you may configure access to other databases by installing the corresponding client packages. (See this blog for more instructions). In Jupyterlab, you may access your database with a proper SQAlchemy URI with the sqlalchemy library. In Superset and Grafana, you may integrate with your database by adding it as a data source on the application interface.

How much does Digital Hub™ cost over long run?

Digital Hub™ scales based on dynamic usage of memory, compute and storage by each application. The cost is simplified based on hours and storage usage and each plans offers a convenient package to get you started. To avoid any intruption to your projects, we will keep the applications running if you don't pause them and charge you for the excess hours. Additional time and storage can also be purchased on demand. You can calculate your cost by using this formula (Plan Price + Top Off Storage + Extra Hours). If you have a certain scenario in mind, contact us for an estimate at info@digitalhub.io or ask us on the community at https://community.digitalhub.io

What is "Top Off" in my admin page?

Top Off is a convenient way for users to increase their plan allocated time and storage. For example if you have used all your plan hours, you can purchase additional hours using the Top Off, or if you're running out of space you can add storage using the Top Off feature in your admin panel.

How does Hour "Top Off" work?

Hours "Top Off" increase your plan time on the platform and expire at the end of your current billing cycle. Add hours if you think you're going to need them. Contact us at info@digitalhub.io if you need a large amount of hours added to your plan.

Who are the developers and innovators behind Digital Hub™?

Digital Hub™ was created with love by the Calgary-based team at Integra Data and Analytic Solutions Corp. We are a group of engineers and data scientists who felt there was a gap in enabling enterprise grade infrastructure for day to day data science needs. We were looking for a flexible and automated online way to easily access and integrate various data science and development tools. We wanted a tool that could fill the gap in open-source echo systems, such as security, authentication, version control, scalability, and collaboration.

We created Digital Hub™ for our own internal use and are now making it available for everyone else! You can see our stories here and reach out to us on this site at any time.

How are hours calculated on Digital Hub ™ Academia or Individual Plans?

Hours are calculated based on application run time. For example when you create a project with 3 applications, and these applications are in "Play" mode, hours add up per application. You can "Pause" any application that you don't need. You may also "Pause All" applications before you log off from the profile menu.

How are hours calculated on Digital Hub™ Teams plan?

In a team project, usage from all members are counted towards the teams subscription owner. As with all projects, the hours are calculated based on total run time of all application instances. In Digital Hub™, there are two types of applications: project-based, and member-based, and the runtime is calculated differently for each type. 1. Project-based applications (Superset, Grafana): In project-based application, a single instance is deployed per project. All members in the project logs in and work on the same application instance. For example, if your Superset instance is ‘ready’ and running for three hours while two members work in it synchronously, the total run time is three hours. 2. Member-based application (Jupyterlab, H2O): In member-based applications, an instance is deployed per member. Members will start their own instances to work on. For example, both Member A and Member B spend 1 hour working in Jupyterlab, the total application runtime would be 2 hours, because each member is running their own instances. Here is an example where a team of three works on a project for three hours. During these three hours, all members see the ‘ready’ status for all of their applications: Superset, Grafana and Jupyterlab. In this scenario, the hours will be calculated as following: (# Hours) * (# Project-based Apps) + (# Hours) * (# Members on Jupyterlab) = (3 hrs * 2 apps) + (3 hrs * 3 members) = 15 hrs
