Brief Description
|
High-Performance Computing supported data storage (online) for scientific computing. The secure computing system permits Rochester researchers to acquire, house, and analyze restricted-use data for scientific research. Access to the CIRC computing system is limited to those using restricted-use data for their research
|
|
Example Use
|
Network Attached Storage for academic research data sets associated with a CIRC computing account. Instrument data including genomic, image, or metabolomics datasets.
|
|
Cost
|
 $199 - $299 / TB / Year
Cost dependent on replication configuration.
|
|
Capacity
|
No practical file size limit.
No practical overall limit (costs incurred).
No practical limit to number of files.
|
|
Access and Collaboration
|
Restricted to CIRC Computing Users. Very fine-grained control and enhanced auditing.
|
|
Data Allowed
|
Public data. Sensitive / moderate risk data. Confidential or restricted/high-risk data. FERPA-protected data. HIPAA-regulated data.
URMC researchers needing to store or analyze HIPAA-regulated data should contact CIRC and/or Academic IT before choosing a storage option.
|
|
Durability (protection against data loss)
|
 High
Scheduled snapshots.
|
|
Availability (protection against downtime)
|
High
Replication option protects against availability loss due to infrastructure failure. Software and hardware architecture provide availability through routine maintenance windows.
|
|
Technical Complexity
|
 Low
A typical user can access with minimal training.
