titleI can’t access my alcova data post migration

I can’t access my alcova data post migration

What is the location in which you’re attempting to access your data? If you’re accessing data at: alcova.arcc.uwyo.edu\<projectname> this was the prior location for Alcova data. Alcova projects were migrated effective June 2024 to data.arcc.uwyo.edu\cluster\alcova\<projectname> and users should access data at the new location.

If you are attempting to access your data at the new location and unable to get to it, this may be dependent on your network configuration. If you’re off campus you must connect to the UWYO network using Wyosecure VPN. Information for Wyosecure is available here.

If you’ve attempted to access the new alcova location and are connected to Wyosecure, but are still unable to do so, please contact arcc-help@uwyo.edu for assistance.

What is Pathfinder and why would I use it over Alcova?

Pathfinder is storage in the form of an S3 bucket. Pathfinder storage space will be more appropriate as a cloud based option in cases where a user is wanting storage for secondary backup and archival of data, storing and serving static website content, large data set analytics, and to facilitate the open sharing of data through a web URL.

titleWhat is an S3 Bucket

What is an S3 Bucket?

Imagine a large box in which you can store things. This box lets you put things in, take things out, and share things with our friends. An S3 bucket is similar to this “big box” concept, but to store files on the internet. S3 stands for Simple Storage Service (S3) protocol originally developed by Amazon. S3 works on object storage through a service called Ceph, provided by Red Hat Enterprise Linux. You can access our files at any time, and decide who can see or use them in the S3 bucket. Bucket permissions are typically set to public or private. If the bucket is private it’s only accessible to those with a set of keys.
