With continued development of high-resolution instruments, networked sensors, and the ability to deploy these tools in an ever-growing number of capacities, the need for researchers to store and share large datasets has never been more pressing. Additionally, the rise of new data processing techniques leveraging the power of machine learning and AI algorithms allow researchers to glean new insights from existing datasets than was initially thought possible when the data was first captured. Science domains from agriculture to physics and medical imaging to astronomy, require larger and larger data storage options that allow for durable storage with robust data sharing capabilities.Granite is a cutting-edge tape-based data subsystem that allows researchers to store and retrieve data both via traditional POSIX methods, such as via Globus, and newer, more flexible standards, such as S3. These interfaces connect researchers to Granite’s 19-frame SpectraLogic TFinity dual-robotic tape library with 20 LTO-9 tape drives, 36PB of raw tape capacity, and Versity’s ScoutFS/ScoutAM archive management tools. Connectivity to Granite is provided by redundant 100Gbps paths to the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign’s Science DMZ, Internet2, the Energy Sciences Network (ESnet), the Big Ten Academic Alliance’s OmniPoP, and the Metropolitan Research & Education Network (MREN). Available to Illinois researchers via the Illinois Data Bank and other Illinois allocation processes, and to the national research community via integration with the NSF Advanced Cyberinfrastructure Coordination Ecosystem: Services & Support (ACCESS) capability, Granite serves a large segment of researchers across the United States.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.

随着高分辨率仪器、联网传感器的不断发展，以及以越来越多的容量部署这些工具的能力，研究人员存储和共享大型数据集的需求从未像现在这样迫切。此外，利用机器学习和人工智能算法的新数据处理技术的兴起，使研究人员能够从现有数据集中收集到比最初捕获数据时所认为的更多的新见解。从农业到物理学，从医学成像到天文学，科学领域需要越来越大的数据存储选项，以实现具有强大数据共享功能的持久存储。Granite是一个前沿的基于磁带的数据子系统，它允许研究人员通过传统的POSIX方法（如Globus）和更新、更灵活的标准（如S3）来存储和检索数据。这些接口将研究人员连接到Granite的19帧SpectraLogic TFinity双机器人磁带库，该磁带库具有20个LTO-9磁带驱动器，36PB原始磁带容量，以及Versity的ScoutFS/ScoutAM档案管理工具。连接花岗岩的冗余100Gbps路径连接到伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校的科学DMZ、互联网2、能源科学网络（ESnet）、十大学术联盟的OmniPoP和大都会研究与教育网（MREN）。花岗岩通过伊利诺伊州数据库和其他伊利诺伊州分配流程提供给伊利诺伊州的研究人员，并通过与NSF高级网络基础设施协调生态系统：服务和支持（ACCESS）功能集成提供给国家研究界，为美国各地的大部分研究人员提供服务。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。
