Description
The Data Archive offers a central location for data archiving. Academic researchers, UMCs and other organizations from a great variety of disciplines use Data Archive. In contrast to data back up which is meant for disaster-recovery for data used on a daily basis, the goal of archiving is long-term retention. It is thus targeted at keeping data that is not actively used safe for future use, i.e. researchers can “freeze” data accompanying a paper or raw data that will serve as a basis for future analysis.
The service allows the user to safely archive petabytes of valuable research data. Data ingested to the Data Archive is kept in two different tape libraries that are located in two different places in the Netherlands.
We offer very fast connections between the archive infrastructure and other compute infrastructure at SURFsara to allow for fast staging of archived data.
Data access is facilitated by several data transfer protocols that can be employed in a Linux or Windows environment.
The Data Archive service offers:
• Helpdesk via phone, email or face to face;
• High-level support concerning the optimal use of the service;
• Long-term and safe preservation of data;
• Good access to other SURFsara infrastructure facilities like: HPC Cloud, Supercomputer, Grid;
• Accessing and placing data:
o Via internet, using SSH, (HPN)SCP, SFTP, rsync, GridFTP;
o Via iRODS federations, in this case also data user-defined data policies can be implemented and executed. Currently, the EUDAT-B2SAFE policies
