The storage must be for use together with current or future NAISS compute projects.
To apply, you must be a scientist in Swedish academia, at least at the level of assistant professor.
Deadlines and Decisions
Proposals are processed monthly. Storage proposals related to compute proposals will be handled after a decision is taken on the related compute proposal.
Note that staff will be on vacation during the summer and proposals submitted in July will be processed at a reduced pace.
This round is open for proposals until 2025-01-01 00:00.

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.
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.

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.

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.

Crex will be decommissioned on 2024-12-31. All data remaining on the system on that date will be lost. See https://www.uu.se/centrum/uppmax/nyheter/nyheter/2024-02-16-rackham-end-of-life
Few new Medium-scale projects will be accepted. Continuation proposals are welcome. New projects must carefully describe a plan for the project from now until 2024-12-31. UU-affiliated projects can be moved automatically to the new local system. Other projects must have a clear and concrete exit plan.
Crex is the 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.
