The HPC Storage and Archive Group of the Systems Section is responsible for the high-performance scratch and archival storage systems across the various programs in NCCS.
Our work entails the entire lifecycle of high-performance storage systems: requirements gathering, design, procurement, install, acceptance, data life cycle, system upkeep, on call, and decommissioning. We collaborate externally from ORNL with other DOE labs, vendors, and industrial partners to anticipate and solve future storage demands. We also collaborate internally to ORNL to help evaluate new storage platforms for production feasibility and to operate the TechInt testbed.
