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.
