The Center for Research Computing (CRC) at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU-Boulder) will acquire, deploy and maintain an expandable petascale storage instrument, the CU-Boulder petaLibrary. This instrument, consisting on an integrated disk and tape system, will enable faculty, staff, postdocs, graduate and undergraduate students to build, store, share and merge large and growing data collections. The petaLibrary will be made available to all CU-Boulder researchers at no usage charge other than the cost of the media.The petaLibrary will serve as the infrastructure for a number of data services provided by the University Libraries, the Museum, the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) and the CRC to the CU-Boulder campus community. The services will include the deposit and discovery of a wide range of digital resources, including digital surrogates of archives and special collections materials owned by libraries and museums on campus, openly accessible resources, digital media only library resources and the scholarly output of the campus. Data-intensive projects include digital collections; high fidelity, high definition recordings of human interaction; global-scale land remote sensing; bio-digitization efforts by the Museum; as well as research programs utilizing CU-Boulder's computational resources.The broader impacts of the project include the development of workshops on data archival and long-term data formats for researchers, research projects and educational opportunities with the CRC for graduate and undergraduate students. Other efforts will include working with The Colorado Coalition for Gender and IT (CCGIT) and the National Center for Women and Technology (NCWIT) to address the limited diversity in IT, specifically in the area of cyberinfrastructure by providing summer internship opportunities for female faculty in data management related topics.

科罗拉多大学博尔德分校(CU-Boulder)的研究计算中心(CRC)将购买、部署和维护一个可扩展的千万亿级存储仪器--CU-Boulder PetaLibrary。该仪器由一个集成的磁盘和磁带系统组成，将使教职员工、博士后、研究生和本科生能够建立、存储、共享和合并不断增长的大型数据集合。除媒体费用外，PetaLibrary将向所有CU-Boulder研究人员免费提供。PetaLibrary将作为由大学图书馆、博物馆、国家冰雪数据中心(NSIDC)和CRC向CU-Boulder校园社区提供的一系列数据服务的基础设施。这些服务将包括存放和发现各种数字资源，包括校园内图书馆和博物馆拥有的档案和特别藏品的数字替代品、可公开获取的资源、仅限数字媒体的图书馆资源和校园的学术成果。数据密集型项目包括数字收藏；高保真、高清晰度的人类互动记录；全球范围的土地遥感；博物馆的生物数字化努力；以及利用CU-Boulder的计算资源的研究计划。该项目的更广泛影响包括为研究人员发展关于数据档案和长期数据格式的研讨会、研究项目以及与CRC合作为研究生和本科生提供教育机会。其他努力将包括与科罗拉多州性别与信息技术联盟(CCGIT)和国家妇女与技术中心(NCWIT)合作，通过为女性教员提供数据管理相关主题的暑期实习机会，解决信息技术领域有限的多样性问题，特别是在网络基础设施领域。
