"SDSC Announces Scalable, High-Performance Data Storage Cloud"
Web-based System Offers High Durability, Security, and Speed
for Diverse User Base

"The San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at the University of
California, San Diego, today announced the launch of what is
believed to be the largest academic-based cloud storage system
in the U.S., specifically designed for researchers, students,
academics, and industry users who require stable, secure,
and cost-effective storage and sharing of digital information,
including extremely large data sets."
.....
"SDSC's new Web-based system is 100% disk-based and interconnected
by high-speed 10 gigabit Ethernet switching technology, providing
extremely fast read and write performance. With an initial
raw capacity of 5.5 petabytes - one petabyte equals one quadrillion
bytes of storage capacity, or the equivalent about 250 billion pages
of text - the SDSC Cloud has sustained read rates of 8 to 10 gigabytes
(GB) per second that will continually improve as more nodes and
storage are added. That's akin to reading all the contents of
a 250GB laptop drive in less than 30 seconds."
.....
""UC San Diego is one of the most data-centric universities in
the country, so our goal was to develop a centralized, scalable data
storage system designed to meet performance, functionality, and
capacity needs of our researchers and partners across the country,
and to evolve and scale with the needs of the scientific community,"
said Dallas Thornton, SDSC's division director of
cyberinfrastructure services. "Developing this resource in-house
atop the OpenStack platform allows for highly-capable and flexible,
yet extremely cost-effective solutions for our researchers.""
OpenStackベースのようです。
Durability and Security
.....
"The SDSC Cloud leverages the infrastructure designed for
a high-performance parallel file system by using two Arista Networks
7508 switches, providing 768 total 10 gigabit (Gb) Ethernet ports
for more than 10Tbit/s of non-blocking, IP-based connectivity.
The switches are configured using multi-chassis link aggregation
(MLAG) for both performance and failover."
