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。该地区面临着几个挑战，如海平面上升和洪水泛滥、有害藻类大量繁殖、水污染和野生动物习性丧失，这影响到经济和人民的福利。佛罗里达国际大学(FIU)将建设EnviStor，其目标是成为一个集中管理的PB级存储系统，同时也是一个支持涉及南佛罗里达州建筑环境和自然环境的跨学科研究和建模的信息中心。EnviStor为学生(其中75%来自STEM中代表性不足的群体)和教职员工提供机会，以增强他们在数据库管理方面的知识，重点是互操作性。EnviStor促进了园区间和园区内的功能，通过低延迟、高性能和经济高效的体系结构，将当前的FIU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上，确保数据保存。此外，该架构将包括促进在校园内和校园间共享数据集的接口。EnviStor将通过与OSDF(开放科学数据联盟)联合并利用FIU的Dataverse存储库来共享其20%的存储资源。这一努力也得到了国家气候发现云(NDC-C)资源的支持。这一奖项反映了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 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.
