This session will focus on Pawsey’s new multi-tier storage capability.\r\n\r\nPawsey Supercomputing Centre will become home to one of the largest research-focused object storage systems in the world, with 130 petabytes of online and offline storage as part of the facility’s $70 million capital refresh project.\r\n\r\nIt includes the addition of object storage technologies to the Pawsey mix, making it easier for research groups to share and access data in flexible ways.\r\n\r\nThe 130 PB data storage system, currently being installed, includes:\r\nA disk-based system powered by Dell, named Acacia after Australia’s national floral emblem the Golden Wattle – Acacia pycnantha, providing 60PB of high-speed object storage for hosting research data online. This multi-tiered cluster separates different types of data to improve data availability.\r\n\r\nOffline storage, named Banksia, after another Australian wildflower with a genus of around 170 species in the plant family Proteaceae, provided by Xenon, incorporating Pawsey’s current object storage infrastructure, including two mirrored libraries each holding 70PB of data, duplicated for data security.\r\n\r\nIf you are interested in why Pawsey has opted for this solution, its underlying infrastructure and how it will be deployed; this AMA is for you!","start":"2021-09-06T13:00:00.000Z","end":"2021-09-06T14:00:00.000Z","sponsors":[],"venue":"","city":"","country":"","postcode":"","latitude":null,"longitude":null,"created_at":"2021-08-26T00:53:46.401Z","updated_at":"2021-08-26T00:53:46.401Z","source":"tess","slug":"ask-me-anything-pawsey-s-multi-tier-storage-capability","content_provider_id":1,"user_id":10,"online":true,"last_scraped":null,"scraper_record":false,"keywords":["HPC","storage","object storage","supercomputing"],"event_types":["webinar"],"target_audience":[],"capacity":null,"eligibility":["open_to_all"],"contact":"help@pawsey.org.au","host_institutions":["Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre"],"prerequisites":"","tech_requirements":"","cost_basis":"","cost_value":null,"scientific_topics":[],"operations":[],"nodes":[]}]
