Data Storage

In addition to the storage linked to the supercomputer and virtualization environment, the MeSU platform offers storage of over 400 TB for all types of scientific data. This storage is partitioned by project and accessible through dedicated virtual machines.

Projects can also request to access their data through a web-interface. For such usage, we deploy Pydio, an open-source file management platform. Pydio provides a secure collaborative space where researchers can store, organize, and share their files. With a user-friendly web interface, Pydio facilitates collaboration with advanced features such as file synchronization, version control, and access rights management.
