Storage
Choosing storage
Depending on what amount of data and for how long you will need to access or store it there are different ways of preserving your data. This guide will help you find and use the storage solution which is best suited to your needs.
AFS
PDC uses AFS technology. Users' home directories are located on AFS servers for easy access both from home and in order to give users the same home directory regardless of which resource they are using.
Lustre
PDC's high-performance file system /cfs uses Lustre technology. Lustre caters to the data created by running jobs on PDC's large parallel computing resources.
SweStore
