The Holland Computing Center (HCC) at the University of Nebraska (NU) has a long history of providing high-performance and high-throughput compute capabilities and the associated storage resources. A long-standing hurdle many NU researchers experience is the difference between their traditional work environments (i.e., desktop) and HCC computing environments, often incurring non-trivial data transferring across these environments. The Nebraska Research Data Storage (NRDStor) creates a cyberinfrastructure storage resource that unites the familiarity of a researcher’s desktop environment with HCC’s computing resources. NRDStor is accessible on HCC’s computing clusters, as well as mountable by researchers on their lab computers and laptops. Fast data transfers between research labs and NRDStor are enabled by leveraging recent upgrades to campus networking. Data stored on NRDStor may be shared (at the user’s discretion) via the Open Science Data Federation (OSDF). NRDStor is available to all HCC users, including the four primary NU campuses in Lincoln, Omaha, the Medical Center in Omaha, and Kearney. The science drivers of NRDStor span the diverse scientific communities that vary in practice from computational biology to wireless networking and encompass many domains in-between. By providing a united filesystem accessible to researchers on both their desktop environment and the clusters, NRDStor can lower a barrier of entry and create a more consistent research environment, lessening their time to science. Moreover, this effort can provide undergraduates with valuable professional development experience by incorporating them to assist HCC professionals in administrating the NRDStor resource and pursuing researcher needs.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

内布拉斯加大学 (NU) 的荷兰计算中心 (HCC) 在提供高性能和高吞吐量计算能力以及相关存储资源方面拥有悠久的历史，许多 NU 研究人员长期遇到的障碍是他们之间的差异。传统工作环境（即桌面）和 HCC 计算环境，通常会在这些环境之间进行重要的数据传输，内布拉斯加州研究数据存储 (NRDStor) 创建了一个网络基础设施存储资源，将研究人员熟悉的桌面环境结合在一起。 NRDStor 可以在 HCC 的计算集群上访问，也可以由研究人员在其实验室计算机和笔记本电脑上安装。通过利用最近对校园网络的升级，可以实现研究实验室和 NRDStor 之间的快速数据传输。通过开放科学数据联盟 (OSDF) 共享（由用户自行决定）的数据可供所有 HCC 用户使用，包括林肯大学的四个主要校区。奥马哈、奥马哈医疗中心和 Kearney 的科学驱动力跨越了从计算生物学到无线网络等不同实践的不同科学界，并为研究人员提供了一个可访问的统一文件系统。桌面环境和集群，NRDStor 可以降低进入门槛并创建更一致的研究环境，减少他们的科学时间。此外，这项工作可以通过将本科生纳入协助 HCC 专业人员管理来为他们提供宝贵的专业发展经验。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
