The University of Montana (UM) proposes to acquire and provision a flexible, cost-effective, tiered data storage system that increases the overall storage capacity of the university to 5.3PB and improves performance and researcher usability. The storage is a step in a larger plan by UM to progressively improve its research cyberinfrastructure by updating data centers, providing high-speed connections to campus sites, and deploying a high-performance computing cluster and Science DMZ. The storage upgrade supports project-driven needs identified by UM researchers, including fuel treatments in forestry, invasive species modeling, geophysics research, permafrost modeling, computational ecology, and SARS COV-2 variant detection.The data storage system leverages a 100GB internal network for processing and communications between the head node, metadata servers, and object storage servers. The UM storage system will share 20% of the resource through the Open Science Data Federation. The UM storage supports a diverse research community spread across multiple institutions within the Montana University System, several Tribal Colleges, and the national research community. Also, in collaboration with West Big Data Innovation Hub, the project is co-hosting a GO FAIR US event bringing exposure to Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) principles. In addition, the project provides experiential learning opportunities for select information technology students by engaging them to participate in the deployment, maintenance, and training associated with the project.This award by the Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure is jointly supported by the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).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.

蒙大拿大学（UM）建议购买和提供一个灵活的，具有成本效益的分层数据存储系统，将大学的整体存储容量增加到5.3PB，并提高性能和研究人员的可用性。存储是UM更大计划的一步，该计划通过更新数据中心，提供与校园站点的高速连接，以及部署高性能计算集群和科学DMZ来逐步改善其研究网络基础设施。存储升级支持UM研究人员确定的项目驱动需求，包括林业燃料处理，入侵物种建模，生物物理学研究，永久冻土建模，计算生态学和SARS COV-2变种检测。数据存储系统利用100 GB的内部网络进行头节点，元数据服务器和对象存储服务器之间的处理和通信。UM存储系统将通过开放科学数据联盟共享20%的资源。 UM存储支持分布在蒙大拿大学系统，几个部落学院和国家研究社区内的多个机构的多样化研究社区。此外，该项目还与West Big Data Innovation Hub合作，共同举办了一场GO FAIR US活动，展示了可查找、可扩展、可互操作和可重用（FAIR）原则。此外，该项目还为精选的信息技术学生提供体验式学习机会，让他们参与部署、维护，该奖项由高级网络基础设施办公室颁发，并得到激励竞争力研究的既定计划（EPSCoR）的联合支持。该奖项反映了NSF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。
