If you have a research project that requires the use of a large dataset and you're looking for a safe location to store your data, then the Active Data Storage service might be for you.
The Active Data Storage (ADS) offers scalable storage from a few terabytes to over apetabyte of storage exported as a private file system for each project available through multiple protocols with good transfer rates. The storage provides high-availability and high-reliability through the use of standard RAID technologies and hardware that provides redundant paths to tolerate the loss of a controller or entire server. Projects requiring a higher level of data reliability can opt for online backups within their allocated storage space or other backup services for an additional fee. You can place an order here.
- ADS Cost: $96/TB/year (single copy) as a provisional rate and subject to indirect costs if purchased on grant funds once government costing is approved.
*Note that ADS is in the process of applying for government costing approval, and until that is approved, grant funds cannot be used to purchase access. - Disaster Recovery Cost: $75/TB/year; however, this rate has not been approved by government costing and therefore cannot be purchased with grant funds.
