Bulk Storage
This service provides cost-effective storage which is comprised of two storage units, one in Champaign-Urbana and one in Springfield. This provides flexibility to meet a range of storage needs! Bulk storage can meet many needs for researchers:
- Need storage for your research group that is backed up?
- Process data directly from our HPC cluster?
- Large data sets?
- Just a backup location for local data?
Fast Storage
This storage is provided via our Virtual Machine service. Most of our VMs will give you access to our Hybrid (SSD + traditional) storage; this typically gives you double the performance over traditional only storage by doubling your IOPS and halving your latency.
High-availability storage
This service replicates your data to another storage unit instantly hence it gives you immediate access to your data in case of a loss of a controller or entire storage unit. It is typically suitable for small (< 1TB) storage where you need access to your data 24x7 such as your important documents.
