This service covers a variety of potential use cases including project storage requirements that exceed the 10TB maximum as well as other collaborative projects that may require the dissemination of valuable research data. Managed storage may be applied for by registering a completed application in the Pawsey As Pawsey is publicly funded, the metadata for approved managed storage allocations (description, FoR codes, etc) will be publicly available according to FAIR principles. Managed storage is subject to periodic reviews to ensure Pawsey capacity is being efficiently utilised.

While we encourage the data itself to eventually be made available (under appropriate licensing) to the broader research community, access is private by default and under the control of the project owner.

Managed storage request can be for either warm tier or cool tier or even a mix of both.

Apply

To submit a new managed storage application, or check on the status of an existing one, go to the application portal

Note

Log in to the application portal using your AAF institutional credentials (eg University or CSIRO.) If you do not have AAF credentials (eg Australian Government Department) you will need to perform an extra step on the application portal of creating a new account, with your official contact email address, before you can log in.

Approval

After you submit a managed storage application, the assessment length will depend on the size of the request. For requests that are substantially under a PB the approval and provisioning process should take no longer than 2-3 weeks. For very large requests, approval from the Pawsey board may be required which can take much longer
