ARCC offers research data storage as a core service. We currently offer two data storage
services catering to different use cases; Alcova and Pathfinder. Both are available
over the web through Globus.
Alcova is likely appropriate for most users looking for data storage that functions similar to a mapped drive (similar to warehouse storage from IT) but specifically for research data.
Pathfinder is more appropriate as a cloud based option for secondary backup and archival of data, storing and serving static website content, large data set analytics, and to facilitate the open sharing of data through a web URL.
