Construction of a 1PB storage node at UTAS is well under way with UTAS taking delivery of 5 pallets or 2.3 tonnes of infrastructure storage equipment.
TPAC staff have been eagerly awaiting its arrival with plans to have it installed and operational as soon as possible.
The general consensus is it’s “All very exciting…”
The first stage of the storage network will see the creation of five nodes (data stores). Four primary nodes are to be established in Sydney, Brisbane, Canberra and Adelaide, with the additional node allocated to Tasmania. UTAS will work with CSIRO, the Australian Antarctic Division and the State Government in establishing the Tasmanian node.
