The University of California, Riverside (UCR) is engaged on a transformative project to revitalize its research storage infrastructure with a Ceph-based solution. This aligns with UCR's recent ascension to the Association of American Universities (AAU) in July 2023 and commitment to supporting its diverse research community as a distinguished Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI). Modernizing research storage is crucial for maintaining AAU standing as one of only four HSIs in this elite group, and empowering UCR to serve the needs of its students and the Inland region. The enhanced infrastructure will catalyze innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration across campus.The project establishes a state-of-the-art, integrated storage system built upon Ceph's capabilities. The initial system will consist of 20 nodes, each with 160TB of physical storage across 8 spinning disks. Additionally, there will be another three nonvolatile memory express (NVMe) solid-state drives, providing 23TB of high input/output operations per second (IOPS) storage per node for a total of 460TB, yielding a resilient, scalable, and high-performance environment supporting diverse research endeavors. Integration with the National Research Platform's Nautilus Cluster furthers UCR's national impact, propelling advancements in data-intensive fields. This initiative will fuel groundbreaking discoveries in several scientific areas, including Deep Learning, metabolomics, critical air challenges, big data problems in agriculture and hydrology, honeybee research, neurocognitive imaging in aging, and more. The storage system will advance multidisciplinary projects, and position UCR as a front runner in inclusive, cutting-edge research.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.

加州大学河滨分校 (UCR) 正在进行一项变革性项目，旨在通过基于 Ceph 的解决方案重振其研究存储基础设施。这与 UCR 最近于 2023 年 7 月晋升为美国大学协会 (AAU) 以及作为杰出的西班牙裔服务机构 (HSI) 支持其多元化研究界的承诺相一致。现代化的研究存储对于维持 AAU 作为这一精英群体中仅有的四个 HSI 之一的地位至关重要，并使 UCR 能够满足其学生和内陆地区的需求。增强的基础设施将促进整个校园的创新和跨学科合作。该项目建立了一个基于 Ceph 功能的最先进的集成存储系统。初始系统将由 20 个节点组成，每个节点在 8 个旋转磁盘上拥有 160TB 的物理存储。此外，还将有另外三个非易失性存储器高速 (NVMe) 固态驱动器，每个节点提供 23TB 的高每秒输入/输出操作 (IOPS) 存储，总计 460TB，从而产生弹性、可扩展和高性能支持多样化研究活动的环境。与国家研究平台鹦鹉螺集群的整合进一步扩大了加州大学河滨分校的国家影响力，推动数据密集型领域的进步。这一举措将推动多个科学领域的突破性发现，包括深度学习、代谢组学、关键空气挑战、农业和水文学中的大数据问题、蜜蜂研究、衰老中的神经认知成像等。 该存储系统将推进多学科项目，并使加州大学河滨分校成为包容性前沿研究的领跑者。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。
