The Northeast Storage Exchange is a collaborative project of the MGHPCC and its founding partners to deploy a regional resource that addresses the escalating need for short, medium, and long-term storage of research data. It aims to:
Create a long-term, growing, self-sustaining storage facility serving both regional researchers and national and international-scale science and engineering projects.
Develop data-centric infrastructure aimed at accelerating interdisciplinary and collaborative research for science, engineering, education and economic development.
Funding for creation of NESE was provided by the NSF Data Infrastructure Building Blocks (DIBBs) program to encourage development of robust and shared data-centric cyberinfrastructure capabilities, to accelerate interdisciplinary and collaborative research in areas of inquiry stimulated by data.
