As a result of cost considerations, SDSC is planning to consolidate from two archival storage systems to one over the coming months.  After careful consideration, we have chosen SAM-QFS as our ongoing archive storage solution and will be phasing out HPSS. SAM-QFS provides a complete data management system consisting of two integrated software products: SAM (Storage Archive Manager) and QFS (a high-performance, 64-bit, Solaris file system).
