The resources that are available for researchers in the national high performance computing facilities are usually accompanied with limited resources and services for storing larger data collections, sharing and staging of data collections and long-term preservation of data.

NorStore offers a scalable, network accessible storage infrastructure. This is accomplished by providing resources and services for general data storage that allow users to store and access seamlessly data using a hierarchy of storage media. NorStore provides independent storage resources and services for data collections that are not easily managed or hosted on other existing systems or by research groups themselves. Storage space is available as a separate independent data allocation in the national e-Infrastructure and is intended for short- and long-term storage, and staging and sharing of data collections in databases or other specific services on disk or tape.

How to access my project area from local machine?

From a Windows laptop or stationary Windows machine:

From a Linux laptop or stationary linux machine:

you can use sshfs. Please contact us (drift@geo.uio.no)  if it does not work or if sshfs is not avaliable on your machine.

Can I process data stored in my project area directly from norStore?

It is sometimes very convenient (and fast!) to process your data directly on norStore. For this you can login on a norStore machine called:

cruncher.norstore.uio.no

To get the list of available software on cruncher:

module avail
