Storage service at NIIFI

Printer-friendly version

NIIFI partners may apply for storage space as block devices.
These could be configured as required and be accessed from partner's side as iSCSI target devices via IP-network and iSCSI protocol. Therefore, it is important to have a basic understanding of volume management and iSCSI protocol.
Four mid-range storage devices (Fujitsu Eternus DX80) serve as a basis for the storage infrastructure. These all have the same 1Tbyte NL-SAS disks to provide a gross total capacity of 120Tbytes each. Two each of four devices are installed at the regional centre of NIIF at the College of Dunaújváros and at the University of West Hungary.
All of these storage nodes are connected directly to the HBONE network backbone via Gigabit Ethernet on four ports each.
