Swestore/dCache

Host data centre

Several data centres

Purpose

Swestore is a Research Data Storage infrastructure intended for active research data, operated by NAISS.

Description

Swestore can offload the Centre storage. While it is deployed and distributed across NAISS centres, you can benefit from the advantages of, among other things, locality and redundancy effects.

Access to data is protected using dual copies in two different geographical locations. There is block redundancy (RAID-6) on the individual storage servers. There is no backup of data stored in Swestore, except by special agreement. The data is accessible via multiple access methods, like gridftp, webdav and NFSv4.1.
