Storage (National Storage Infrastructure)

The National Storage Infrastructure will have 2 components:

Object Storage

A fully distributed object storage system spanning all 4 sites, with geo-redundancy, replication and universal access.

Long-term File Storage

Long-term file storage sites (similar to Silo) at SFU and the University of Waterloo. Each site will have tape backup.

Patrick Mann (talk) 15:26, 23 September 2016 (UTC) Note that due to Silo decommissioning Dec.31/2016 it will be necessary to provide interim storage while the NSI is developed. See [Migration2016:Silo] for details.
