Large scale storage options

Introduction

This FAQ is for labs looking to purchase large blocks of storage for use related to the ERISOne Linux Cluster and the IDEA Data Analytics Platform. This option is subject to availability and prices may change.  More details on the different types of storage are on the Cluster Attached Storage on ERISOne FAQ page.

Prices are per GiB of "usable" space which relates directly to your calculated storage projections and what the computer reports for disk usage.  Hardware vendors always work with "raw" space in SI units (GB and TB) so those numbers are included for comparison.  Usable space is roughly 20% less than raw space and 1TiB is 10% more than 1TB

HPC direct attached storage

BriefCASE storage is issued to Lab groups as a shared resource per Lab group or per project and can scale from 200GB to 50+ TB.
