Cephyr NOBACKUP C3SE 0 200 000 GiB This storage resource is connected to the computing resources Alvis and Vera at C3SE.
This storage resource is connected to the computing resources Alvis and Vera at C3SE. Please primarily use Mimer for project on Alvis. This resource is considered to be removed as a SNIC resource for next round. Please consider moving to alternative storage solutions already now.

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 201 000 2 000 000 GiB This storage resource is connected to the AI/ML resource Alvis at C3SE.
This storage resource is connected to the AI/ML resource Alvis at C3SE.

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 1 499 600 1 980 000 GiB Storage resource connected to compute resources Tetralith and Sigma at NSC.
Storage resource connected to compute resources Tetralith and Sigma at NSC. The end date of granted storage allocations will be adjusted to match the end date of compute projects that will utilizing the storage allocation.

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 2 350 000 3 000 000 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 550 2 500 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 2 020 000 1 700 000 GiB Storage attached to Rackham and Snowy at UPPMAX.
Storage attached to Rackham and Snowy at UPPMAX. Must have or apply for a Medium or Small compute project on Rackham or Snowy.

Active data storage for Rackham projects. Primarily for life science projects.
