CC* Data Storage: NRDStor: Nebraska Research Data Storage

内布拉斯加州大学（University of Nebraska， NU）的荷兰计算中心（HCC）在提供高性能和高吞吐量的计算能力以及相关的存储资源方面有着悠久的历史。许多北大研究人员经历的一个长期障碍是他们的传统工作环境（即桌面）和HCC计算环境之间的差异，通常会在这些环境之间产生重要的数据传输。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，将研究人员的桌面环境与HCC的计算资源结合起来。NRDStor可以在HCC的计算集群上访问，也可以由研究人员在他们的实验室计算机和笔记本电脑上安装。通过利用最近升级的校园网络，研究实验室和NRDStor之间的快速数据传输成为可能。存储在NRDStor上的数据可以通过开放科学数据联盟（OSDF）共享（由用户自行决定）。NRDStor对所有HCC用户开放，包括位于林肯、奥马哈的四个主要校区、奥马哈医疗中心和科尔尼校区。NRDStor的科学驱动力跨越了从计算生物学到无线网络实践的不同科学社区，并涵盖了其中的许多领域。通过为研究人员在桌面环境和集群上提供一个统一的文件系统，NRDStor可以降低进入门槛，创造一个更一致的研究环境，减少他们从事科学研究的时间。此外，这一努力可以为本科生提供宝贵的专业发展经验，使他们能够协助HCC专业人员管理NRDStor资源并满足研究人员的需求。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值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.
