Data Storage Services

Separate POSIX compliant network file systems are provided centrally for scientific users and administration in order to facilitate the exchange of information over the local area data network of the Institute [log-in required]

Centralized backup / archiving services are provided for all members of staff and guests in order to guarantee the continuous availability of important data sets. The service is currently based on the IBM Spectrum Protect Software(previously known as Tivoli Storage Manager or TSM). The hardware is based on a 3500 IBM tape library which can contain up to 3.900 tapes. Tapes are the ideal medium for offline protection against any loss of data in the institute.
