This Federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070), will fund the development of a high-capacity active data archive system called "Granite" at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The $500,000 award, effective April 1, 2024 through March 31, 2026, will support the deployment of a 36PB tape-based data storage subsystem accessible via multiple high-speed networking connections. This cutting-edge data archive will enable cost-effective storage and distribution of large research datasets for Illinois researchers and the broader national research community. The project aims to address the growing need for scalable data management solutions as research instruments, sensors, and data processing capabilities continue to advance across numerous scientific domains. No subawards are planned under this grant.
