Resources

Resource	Centre	Total Requested	Upper Limit	Available	Unit	Note
Cephyr NOBACKUP	C3SE	81 869	5 000	100 000	GiB	Storage attached to Alvis and Vera at C3SE.
Storage attached to Alvis and Vera at C3SE. Please use Mimer if you only use Alvis at C3SE. Project storage based on Ceph with a total usable area of 5 PiB. 14 Storage servers, each with 3 NvMe:s (for database and journal). 7 JBOD, each with 42 14 TiB HDD:s.
Mimer	C3SE	93 000	5 000	100 000	GiB	The preferred project storage resource for Alvis. Currently only available from Alvis.
Currently only available from Alvis. This is the preferred project storage resource for Alvis. Project storage attached to Alvis and Vera, dedicated for AI/ML Mimer is an all-flashed based storage system based on as solution from WEKA IO. It consists of an 0.6 PB all-flash tier and a 7 PB Ceph based bulk storage tier (with spinning disk).
Centre Storage	NSC	196 350	5 000	575 000	GiB
Centre Storage @ NSC is designed for fast access from compute resources at NSC. The purpose is to provide storage for active data for NAISS compute projects allocated time on compute resources at NSC. Apply for a file quota of 1 million files unless you have a good motivation for more. Proposals will be evaluated within a few working days. Project storage for NAISS as well as LiU Local projects with compute allocations on resources hosted by NSC. Centre Storage @ NSC is designed for fast access from compute resources at NSC. It consists of one IBM ESS GL6S building block and one IBM ESS 5000 SC4 building block. In total there are 946 spinning hard disks and a small number of NVRAM devices and SSDs which act as a cache to speed up small writes. The total disk space that is usable for storing files is approximately 6.9 PiB.
Klemming	PDC	565 225	5 000	300 000	GiB	Storage attached to Dardel at PDC
Storage for active data used by projects with compute allocations on Dardel. More information about project directories in Klemming can be found at https://www.pdc.kth.se/support/documents/data_management/klemming.html. Project storage for NAISS as well as PDC projects with compute allocations on resources hosted by PDC. Klemming is designed for fast access from compute resources at PCD. It uses the Lustre parallel file system, which is optimized for handling data from many clients at the same time. The total size of Klemming is 12 PB.
dCache	Swestore	19	10	500	TiB
Swestore is a Research Data Storage Infrastructure, intended for active research data and operated by the National Academic Infrastructure for Supercomputing in Sweden, NAISS, The storage resources provided by Swestore are made available for free for academic research funded by VR and Formas through open calls such that the best Swedish research is supported and new research is facilitated. The purpose of Swestore allocations, granted by National Allocations Committee (NAC), is to provide large scale data storage for “live” or “working” research data, also known as active research data. See the documentation at: https://docs.swestore.se
Crex 1	UPPMAX	1 972 879	10 000	1 400 000	GiB	UPPMAX storage system attached to Rackham and Snowy, suitable for active data.
UPPMAX storage system attached to Rackham and Snowy, suitable for active data. Only apply if you have a Compute project or proposal at UPPMAX. Not suitable for long-term data storage. Backup is available. Use "nobackup" in directory names to exempt data from backup. Note: Allocations on Crex are decided strictly on a monthly basis. Proposals submitted after the 23rd are decided the following month. See this page for detailed information: https://www.uppmax.uu.se/support/getting-started/applying-for-storage/ Active data storage for Rackham projects. Primarily for life science projects.
