Description
The Northeast Storage Exchange is a shared regional storage facility joint project between Boston University, Harvard University, MIT, Northeastern University, UMASS, the Massachusetts Green High Performance Computing Center and RedHat Inc, funded by the National Science Foundation within the DIBBs (Data Infrastructure Building Blocks) program. The NESE team and collaboration aim to create a long-term, growing, self-sustaining storage facility serving both regional researchers and national and international scale science and engineering projects. In fact, the NESE project[3] marks an important shift within the MGHPCC consortium towards shared facilities, shared data science, and much greater collaboration across research computing organizations. We will discuss the state of the initial deployments, buy-ins and relation to growing shared computing facilities in the Northeast.
