File Storage

Cloud Sharing/Storage

UITS provides several secure services that allow Indiana University students, faculty, and staff work on documents and share files with IU collaborators and others who are not affiliated with IU. For temporary file sharing UITS provides SlashTMP: https://kb.iu.edu/d/angt. For file storage and collaborative work with IU Affiliates UITS provides Box: https://box.iu.edu.

Administrative File Storage

We provide space on our administrative File Server for Chemistry Faculty and Staff for the purposes of storing and sharing administrative, instructional, and collaborative data needed for the day to day operation of the department.

Scholarly Data Archive

The Scholarly Data Archive (SDA) is a University resource for storage of large data sets.  Being mostly tape-based, it is optimized for a relatively small number of large files, so it is best suited for archival use, i.e. storing large .zip files, etc., rather than frequently used or modified sets of files.  Storage of a large number of small files on the SDA is discouraged, as it can degrade performance.  SDA accounts are typically given a quota of 50 TB.

The SDA was formerly known as the Massive Data Storage System (MDSS), and is also known as HPSS (High Performance Storage System), which is actually the software running in the background of this system.

Geode Research Space

The College of Arts and Sciences has an agreement with UITS Research Technologies for paid use of Geode-Project storage space.  This storage is paid for by the College and is free to researchers within the College.  By default new accounts are allocated 2 TB, up to 8 TB with College approval.  Above 8 TB can be paid for by individual researchers, at a rate of $150 per TB per year.

This resource is suitable for general everyday file storage use.
