High Volume Data Storage Infrastructure for Scientific Research and Education at ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ State University Shared as Open Science Data Federation Data Origin

The  program invests in coordinated campus-level cyberinfrastructure improvements, innovation, integration, and engineering for science applications and distributed research projects.

The ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ proposal intends to develop a high-capacity storage system with around 4.3PB overall usable storage as an Open Science Data Federation (OSDF) data origin to support scientific research and education activities on both campuses of ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ State University (²ÝÁñÊÓƵ). 30% of the storage is to be allocated for hosting datasets of external researchers and sharing ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ spawned datasets to empower national research projects.  You can learn more in the ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ's Proposal Abstract and in the .
