NSF CC* Data Storage
High Volume Data Storage Infrastructure for Scientific Research and Education at Kennesaw State University Shared as Open Science Data Federation Data Origin
The program invests in coordinated campus-level cyberinfrastructure improvements, innovation, integration, and engineering for science applications and distributed research projects.
The ³ÉÈËÖ±²¥ proposal intends to develop a high-capacity storage system with around 4.3PB overall usable storage as an Open Science Data Federation (OSDF) data origin to support scientific research and education activities on both campuses of ³ÉÈËÖ±²¥ (³ÉÈËÖ±²¥). 30% of the storage is to be allocated for hosting datasets of external researchers and sharing ³ÉÈËÖ±²¥ spawned datasets to empower national research projects. You can learn more in the ³ÉÈËÖ±²¥'s Proposal Abstract and in the .
