This storage resource is connected to the AI/ML resource Alvis at C3SE.
Allocations on Mimer will be scaled and transferred to storage on the new NAISS system Arrhenius. Our current best estimate is that this will occur early in 2026. Mimer is guaranteed to operate throughout 2025. More information will be announced as the procurement and installation of Arrhenius progresses.
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).

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.
Allocations on Centre Storage will be scaled and transferred to storage on the new NAISS system Arrhenius. Our current best estimate is that this will occur late in 2025. More information will be announced as the procurement and installation of Arrhenius progresses.
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.

NAISS can currently only approve storage on dCache at Swestore until 2026-01-01. Storage solutions for non-hot data, such as Swestore, are being investigated in accelerated form by NAISS very early 2025. We plan to communicate the plan for long-term services later in spring 2025.
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.
