Basic features
Data repositories are key parts of the National Data Infrastructure, making it easy to share and store large volumes of scientific data across organizations. They handle data too large for standard disk arrays, support archiving and backups during the National Repository Platform’s development, and cater to special data storage needs.
While the National Repository Platform is being built to manage long-term data with metadata tagging, the existing repositories already provide crucial backup and archival services. Individual users can access up to 2 TB through the S3 repository with a simple request. For larger volumes or group storage, users should contact support.
Types of Services:
- For individual users (up to 2 TB/user) or testing, access to the S3 repository can be requested directly.
- For groups or larger data volumes, please contact user support.
Storage Features:
- Fully integrated into the user account system within the e-infrastructure, aligning with MetaCenter and the collaboration environment.
- Supports geographically distributed backups across locations in Brno, Dolní Břežany, Jihlava, Ostrava, and Pilsen, Czech Republic.
