The Holland Computing Center (HCC) at the University of Nebraska (NU) has a long history of providing high-performance and high-throughput compute capabilities and the associated storage resources. A long-standing hurdle many NU researchers experience is the difference between their traditional work environments (i.e., desktop) and HCC computing environments, often incurring non-trivial data transferring across these environments. The Nebraska Research Data Storage (NRDStor) creates a cyberinfrastructure storage resource that unites the familiarity of a researcher’s desktop environment with HCC’s computing resources. NRDStor is accessible on HCC’s computing clusters, as well as mountable by researchers on their lab computers and laptops. Fast data transfers between research labs and NRDStor are enabled by leveraging recent upgrades to campus networking. Data stored on NRDStor may be shared (at the user’s discretion) via the Open Science Data Federation (OSDF). NRDStor is available to all HCC users, including the four primary NU campuses in Lincoln, Omaha, the Medical Center in Omaha, and Kearney. The science drivers of NRDStor span the diverse scientific communities that vary in practice from computational biology to wireless networking and encompass many domains in-between. By providing a united filesystem accessible to researchers on both their desktop environment and the clusters, NRDStor can lower a barrier of entry and create a more consistent research environment, lessening their time to science. Moreover, this effort can provide undergraduates with valuable professional development experience by incorporating them to assist HCC professionals in administrating the NRDStor resource and pursuing researcher needs.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

内布拉斯加大学（NU）的荷兰计算中心（HCC）在提供高性能和高吞吐量计算能力以及相关存储资源方面有着悠久的历史。许多NU研究人员经历的一个长期存在的障碍是他们传统工作环境之间的差异（即，桌面）和HCC计算环境，通常会导致跨这些环境的重要数据传输。内布拉斯加州研究数据存储（NRDSTOM）创建了一个网络基础设施存储资源，将研究人员的桌面环境与HCC的计算资源结合起来。NRDtool可以在HCC的计算集群上访问，也可以由研究人员安装在他们的实验室计算机和笔记本电脑上。通过利用最近对园区网络的升级，实现了研究实验室和NRDESTs之间的快速数据传输。存储在NRDtags上的数据可以通过开放科学数据联合会（OSDF）共享（由用户自行决定）。所有HCC用户都可以使用NRDtool，包括林肯、奥马哈、奥马哈医疗中心和科尔尼的四个主要NU校园。NRDSTAR的科学驱动因素跨越了不同的科学社区，这些社区在实践中从计算生物学到无线网络，并涵盖了许多介于两者之间的领域。通过为研究人员在桌面环境和集群上提供一个可访问的统一文件系统，NRDcycle可以降低进入门槛，并创建一个更一致的研究环境，减少他们的科学时间。此外，这一努力可以通过将他们纳入帮助HCC专业人员管理NRDtaxis资源和追求研究人员需求，为本科生提供宝贵的专业发展经验。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
