NASA is looking to reign in its rapidly growing archive of research data.
Officials with the agency’s Advanced Supercomputing facility at NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View, Calif., are deploying Silicon Graphics’ InfiniteStorage Data Migration Facility to manage, store and retrieve archived data.
NASA officials will use DMF to move older data files to a tape archive.
DMF ultimately will allow the agency to archive and manage 40 petabytes of information — an amount equal to approximately 2,000 times the size of the entire print collection of the Library of Congress, NASA officials said.
