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.
