CC* Data Storage: NRDStor: Nebraska Research Data Storage

荷兰内布拉斯加州大学(NU)的荷兰计算中心(HCC)在提供高性能和高吞吐量计算能力及相关存储资源方面有着悠久的历史。许多NU研究人员遇到的一个长期障碍是他们的传统工作环境(即桌面)与HCC计算环境之间的差异，这往往会导致在这些环境中传输大量数据。内布拉斯加州研究数据存储(NRDStor)创建了一个网络基础设施存储资源，将研究人员对桌面环境的熟悉程度与HCC的计算资源统一起来。NRDStor可以在HCC的计算集群上访问，研究人员也可以在他们的实验室计算机和笔记本电脑上安装。研究实验室和NRDStor之间的快速数据传输是通过利用园区网络的最新升级实现的。存储在NRDStor上的数据可通过开放科学数据联合会(OSDF)共享(由用户自行决定)。NRDStor可供所有HCC用户使用，包括位于林肯、奥马哈、奥马哈和科尔尼的四个主要NU校区。NRDStor的科学驱动力跨越了从计算生物学到无线网络的各种实践中不同的科学社区，并涵盖了介于两者之间的许多领域。通过为桌面环境和群集上的研究人员提供统一的文件系统，NRDStor可以降低进入门槛并创建更一致的研究环境，从而减少他们进行科学研究的时间。此外，这一努力可以为本科生提供宝贵的专业发展经验，通过纳入他们来帮助肝细胞癌专业人员管理NRDStor资源和满足研究人员的需求。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

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.
