| GPFS-WAN | A centralized file system for long- or short-term data storage of high-volume multi-site runs and large XSEDE-based data collections, GPFS-WAN was a 613-TB storage system mounted on several XSEDE compute resources. | June 2012 |
| HPSS | Part of the SDSC Tape Storage platform, HPSS was a centralized, long-term data storage system for national users. With a 25 PB capacity, its content increased by over 100 TB a month while in production. | June 27, 2012 |
| SAM-QFS | A high-performance archival storage system, SAM-QFS allowed users to directly access data using a disk cache file system, then automatically migrated the data to tape. For national users, it was part of the SDSC Tape Storage platform. | July 1, 2012 |
