Data Services
Today's science depends on data. As the high performance computing community drives towards the development of petaflop computers, the need for data services such as storage management infrastructures becomes increasingly important. As a leader in data management for scientists and engineers, SDSC has responded to the increasing demand by actively collaborating with researchers and national scale projects to provide the both the computation and storage infrastructures necessary to keep pace with this growing wealth of information in the sciences.
SDSC currently hosts more than 5 petabytes of data, which includes a number of public and private databases and data collections representing work from a wide range of scientific domains. However, the center has the capacity to host more than 27 petabytes of data.
