A happy and healthy new year to all of our blog readers! As 2021 begins, we mark a major new expansion in scope of the NESE project (NESE Exascale) with the installation of the new NESE Tape tier

If NESE is to become a growing and important part of a national cyberinfrastructure, we must be able to usefully provide storage for large-scale world-wide science as well as for smaller science,

Massive data flows for NESE Exascale, where moving 1 PB per day should be the norm, require careful attention to be taken with regards to the network. This has caused us to create a plan to scale out

Following the success of NESE Ceph storage and buy-ins, and seeing science needs for exascale storage, we began a process of investigating a possible NESE storage tier capable of growing to exascale

This has been a year of dramatic growth, both in the NESE user community and in our collaboration with related research projects. In total, there are 169 projects using NESE storage with 112

Picking up on a useful tradition from FASRC, Milan has started to host weekly NESE Office Hours.  If you have technical NESE issues or just want to stop by and see what’s happening, feel free

Social media slowly starting up as we approach production Our project is deep in the “Launch Phase” where we’re busy setting up and testing a 12 PB starter NESE deployment. As we get closer to

Visit to the Broad Institute I had an interesting visit to the Broad Institute today, at the invitation of Clare Bernard (who got her Ph.D. in our ATLAS group at BU) and her colleague Christopher

Launch progress; New RedHatters; MIT networking and OSD buy-in This is the scene from after the NESE launch meeting today: A whole array of cozy outdoor fire pits on the Harvard campus. There is lots

The NESE project is currently in the “Launch Phase,” lead by Scott Yockel and his team at Harvard FASRC. This means that our starter batch of NESE hardware (approximately 15 PB raw, with more
