Phase III Launch
Now leveraging the Edge-DTN-STOR Data Transfer Node.
The NSF CC* CRISPIE project has moved from foundational training and infrastructure deployment into active community utilization, where research and education communities can begin using the regional DTN.
Phase III: research activation
What changed
CRISPIE is entering the phase where the deployed infrastructure becomes a usable regional research platform. Edge-DTN-STOR combines shared storage, secure federated access, Nextcloud collaboration, and DTN data movement for active projects.
What Edge-DTN-STOR provides
- 96 TB of shared, high-performance storage.
- Optimized data movement within a Science DMZ.
- Secure, federated institutional access.
- Integration pathways with national resources.
- Web-based collaboration and multi-platform mounting options.
Call to action
Research community
- Identify active or upcoming projects involving significant data movement.
- Integrate Edge-DTN-STOR into research or education workflows.
- Request an allocation and begin testing the workflow.
- Engage campus research computing leads or IT support.
Recommended first steps
