Significant upgrade of disk array storage-praha5-elixir

Significant upgrade of disk array storage-praha5-elixir

We have successfully completed the planned upgrade of the storage-praha5-elixir storage array. Thanks to this investment, the total available capacity has grown by an impressive 1 PB.

This increase will primarily benefit users involved in ELIXIR projects, as well as other MetaCentrum users utilizing our storage capacities in Prague.

What’s New?

• Home Directories (home): For ELIXIR users, we have tripled the available space. The standard quota is now set to 5 TB (further increases are possible in justified cases). Other users have 100 GB available.

• Project Directories: The capacity reserved for ELIXIR projects has doubled.

• Future Flexibility: A portion of the new space remains intentionally unallocated for now. This will allow us to respond flexibly to your future needs and "inflate" specific directories wherever the demand for data is currently highest.

The storage is available as standard on all MetaCentrum computing nodes at the usual path: /storage/praha5-elixir/

We believe that this new hardware will contribute to the efficient execution of your computations and scientific projects.
