Features

  • Any research group at WVU may purchase storage for a minimum of 10TB per year for five years.

  • Access to data is provided for 5 years. After 5 years, researchers will need to reinvest to maintain access to storage.

  • Data is stored in a central location and is available to wherever you need it on/off campus. You no longer need to copy data from location to location.

  • CIFS/SMB protocols provide access to files through a PC/MAC from labs or offices.

  • Storage is accessible via other means such as Globus Online and sftp.

  • Provides High-Performance Computing (HPC) users a great place to share applications, scripts, documents and other data.

  • Easy sharing mechanisms through UNIX groups and Globus Online for external collaborators.

  • Highly redundant to protect against hardware failures and accidental deletions. Data can be replicated offsite for an additional fee for further data protection.

  • All data is snapshot daily to provide the ability to easily recover deleted or changed files. The system keeps a week of daily snapshots available for restoration.

  • Stores protected/regulated data sets with prior permission from Research Computing.

  • All data remains controlled by the research group's PI.

  • Users do NOT have to use WVU’s HPC services.
