A software quarantine system is designed to allow users of a computer system to:

explicitly decide which version of a software package they are running
maintain that version across different physical computers
enhance reproducibility of processing pipelines by maintaining fixed software versions

The CIC at the Douglas has a software quarantine system similar to the implementation on SciNet.
