AISS and IT Center News (JUNE 2008):

• In cooperation with the DSR and S-VPHA, AISS is facilitating the installation of a new Storage System to accommodate growing research activities across UF and the HSC. This storage system will be used to expand existing research storage requirements, facilitate retention of de-identified VA data, and allow grant funded storage to be purchased economically. The system has capacity to scale to 1PB. Initial provisioning of storage (25-30TB) will be available to all HSC/COM research units in late July 2008. Contact itcsa@health.ufl.edu for more information.
