With continued development of high-resolution instruments, networked sensors, and the ability to deploy these tools in an ever-growing number of capacities, the need for researchers to store and share large datasets has never been more pressing. Additionally, the rise of new data processing techniques leveraging the power of machine learning and AI algorithms allow researchers to glean new insights from existing datasets than was initially thought possible when the data was first captured. Science domains from agriculture to physics and medical imaging to astronomy, require larger and larger data storage options that allow for durable storage with robust data sharing capabilities.Granite is a cutting-edge tape-based data subsystem that allows researchers to store and retrieve data both via traditional POSIX methods, such as via Globus, and newer, more flexible standards, such as S3. These interfaces connect researchers to Granite’s 19-frame SpectraLogic TFinity dual-robotic tape library with 20 LTO-9 tape drives, 36PB of raw tape capacity, and Versity’s ScoutFS/ScoutAM archive management tools. Connectivity to Granite is provided by redundant 100Gbps paths to the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign’s Science DMZ, Internet2, the Energy Sciences Network (ESnet), the Big Ten Academic Alliance’s OmniPoP, and the Metropolitan Research & Education Network (MREN). Available to Illinois researchers via the Illinois Data Bank and other Illinois allocation processes, and to the national research community via integration with the NSF Advanced Cyberinfrastructure Coordination Ecosystem: Services & Support (ACCESS) capability, Granite serves a large segment of researchers across the United States.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.

随着高分辨率仪器、网络传感器的不断发展，以及以不断增长的能力部署这些工具的能力，研究人员存储和共享大型数据集的需求变得前所未有的紧迫。此外，新的数据集的兴起。利用机器学习和人工智能算法的数据处理技术，使研究人员能够从现有数据集中收集新的见解，而这些见解比最初捕获数据时想象的要多，从农业到物理学，从医学成像到天文学，科学领域需要越来越大的数据。存储选项可实现持久存储且坚固耐用数据共享功能。Granite 是一种基于磁带的尖端数据子系统，允许研究人员通过传统的 POSIX 方法（例如 Globus）和更新、更灵活的标准（例如 S3）存储和检索数据。这些接口将研究人员连接到。 Granite 的 19 帧 SpectraLogic TFinity 双机械手磁带库，配有 20 个 LTO-9 磁带驱动器、36PB 原始磁带容量以及 Versity 的 ScoutFS/ScoutAM 存档管理与 Granite 的连接由通往伊利诺伊大学香槟分校科学 DMZ、Internet2、能源科学网络 (ESnet)、十大学术联盟的 OmniPoP 和大都会研究与教育网络 (MREN) 的冗余 100Gbps 路径提供。通过伊利诺伊州数据库和其他伊利诺伊州分配流程向伊利诺伊州研究人员提供，并通过与 NSF 高级网络基础设施协调生态系统集成向国家研究界提供：服务和凭借支持 (ACCESS) 能力，Granite 为美国各地的大量研究人员提供服务。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并且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。
