ETH Zurich - Computer Science

isginf maintains a cluster of servers (the iiStore cluster) for file storage with NFS and SMB/CIFS connectivity. This service is available to all groups and institutes of the D-INFK. Key features are:

Total storage capacity scaling upto 50TB
High performance network and storage
High availability (minimal downtime in case of failure or maintenance)
Backup of all data to an off-site tape library
Daily snapshots for quick restores
Archival of deleted home directories

We also maintain an alternative scratch file server for people who are interested in high performance and large amounts of space rather than high availability and data safety. Data on this server is not backed up but we still use high-grade hardware and RAID6 to store the data.
