Project StorageThis is granted to all Supercomputing, Nimbus and Visualisation active Pawsey projects. If you have an approved Pawsey project then you are already eligible for a 1TB allocation on this resource, which is shared amongst all project members. If you require more than 1TB, but less than 10TB, please email an appropriate request to the Pawsey helpdesk. If you require more than 10TB, then you will need to submit an application for Managed Storage, see below. Project storage is currently provisioned on warm tier storage.

Managed StorageThis service covers a variety of potential use cases including project storage requirements that exceed the 10TB maximum project storage amount as well as other collaborative projects use-cases that may require the dissemination of sharing research data. As Pawsey is publicly funded, the The high-level metadata for approved managed storage allocations (description, FoR codes, etc) will be publicly available according to FAIR principles. Managed storage is also subject to periodic reviews to ensure Pawsey capacity is being efficiently utilised. While we encourage the data itself to be eventually be made available public (under appropriate licensing) to the broader research community, access is private by default and under the control of the project owner.

If you do not have AAF credentials (eg Australian Government Department) you will need to perform create an extra step account on the application portal of creating a new account, with using your official contact email address, before you can log in. This account is only for applications and cannot be used to access Pawsey data or compute resources. |
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.
