Data Storage Systems
ARCC petaLibrary
The petaLibrary is connected to the UW network backbone at 40 Gbps (upgradeable to 80 Gbps) which is connected to the Internet2 research network at 100 Gbps so the data can be provided to the wide-area network (WAN) at world-class speeds. The service is designed and operated such that access to data in the Data Commons should be limited only by the receiving endpoint or intervening network connections, not the UW infrastructure. Thus UW researchers will be able to share (and/or host) data via a service that provides world-class speeds for research data.
ARCC Pathfinder
ARCCs newest data storage system is Pathfinder. It is a low-cost storage solution that enables a Cloud-like presence for research data hosted by ARCC. The system is built to be expandable and provides data protection. Its core functionality is hosting onsite backups as well as enabling data sharing and collaboration.
