{{site.data.alerts.warning}}The Merlin7 documentation is <b>Work In Progress</b> as the system is still evolving. 
{{site.data.alerts.end}}

The Merlin7 cluster is in **preproduction** state since August 2024. We are moving the system towards production from January 2025 on, the schedule of the migration of users and communities being subject to the resolution of some remaining problems on the platform. You will be notified well in advance regarding the migration of data.

All PSI users can request access to Merlin7.
