CC* Storage: EnviStor: A Repository for Supporting Collaborative Interdisciplinary Research on South Florida's Built and Natural Environments

南佛罗里达地区有近1000万人口，而且人口还在增长。该地区面临着一些挑战，如海平面上升和洪水、有害藻类繁殖、水污染和野生动物习性丧失，这些都影响了经济和人口的福利。佛罗里达国际大学（FIU）将建造EnviStor，其目标是成为一个集中管理的pb级存储系统，也是一个支持跨学科研究和建模的清算所，涉及南佛罗里达的人造环境和自然环境。EnviStor为学生（其中75%来自STEM中代表性不足的群体）和教师提供了提高数据库管理知识的机会，重点是互操作性。EnviStor促进了校际和校园内的存储能力，通过低延迟、高性能和经济高效的架构，将当前FIU的存储能力从tb级扩展到pb级，以促进科学数据产品的创建。数据备份将被发送到云端，确保数据的保存。此外，该体系结构将包括促进校内和校际数据集共享的接口。EnviStor将与OSDF（开放科学数据联盟）联合，并利用FIU的Dataverse存储库，共享其20%的存储资源。这项工作还得到了国家气候发现云（NDC-C）资源的支持。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 South Florida region is home to nearly 10 million people, and the population is growing. The region faces several challenges, such as rising sea levels and flooding, harmful algae blooms, water contamination, and wildlife habit loss, which affects the economy and the welfare of its population. Florida International University (FIU) will build EnviStor, which aims to be a centrally managed Petabyte scale storage system that is also a clearing house for supporting interdisciplinary research and modeling involving both built and natural environments in South Florida. EnviStor provides opportunities for students (75% of whom coming from underrepresented groups in STEM) and faculty to enhance their knowledge of database management, focusing on interoperability. EnviStor facilitates inter and intra-campus capabilities, augmenting the current FIU storage capabilities from the Terabyte to the Petabyte scale through a low-latency, high-performance, and cost-effective architecture to facilitate the creation of science data products. Data backups will be sent to the cloud, ensuring data preservation. In addition, the architecture will include interfaces that facilitate the sharing of datasets at intra- and inter-campus levels. EnviStor will share 20% of its storage resources by federating with the OSDF (Open Science Data Federation) and leveraging FIU’s Dataverse repository. This effort is also supported by National Discovery Cloud for Climate (NDC-C) resources.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.
