Canyon – Long-term Storage

Canyon is a long-term storage system that serves as a cold storage/archive system, similar to AWS Glacier. It can be accessed through Globus and enables you to transfer data from any of your existing Globus endpoints.

Alternatively, it can be accessed Cyberduck.

Policies​

  • The long-term storage is not directly accessible via the supercomputer
  • All data is kept on-site and is not replicated to secondary storage
  • Recall times can vary based on data volume and demand

Usage Guidelines​

  • Ensure that the data stored complies with our data policy and legal regulations. Canyon does not support storing sensitive data.
  • Regular backups of critical data are advised, even though our systems are designed for high reliability.
