Table 1.
All OSDC resources | Cores | Compute cores | Total RAM (TB) | Computed RAM (TB) | Raw storage (PB) | Usable storage (PB) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Open access clouds | 3632 | 3168 | 13.9 | 12.9 | 4.4 | 2.6 |
Bionimbus PDC | 2816 | 2664 | 11.0 | 10.9 | 2.5 | 1.5 |
Hadoop | 1090 | 1030 | 3.5 | 3.2 | 1.5 | 1.1 |
Other resources | 456 | 352 | 1.5 | 1.4 | 0.8 | 0.5 |
Total | 7994 | 7214 | 29.9 | 28.4 | 9.2 | 5.7 |
This includes both the open-access Bionimbus Community Cloud and the controlled-access Bionimbus Protected Data Cloud (PDC). There is a data commons that is part of the open-access OSDC that consists of 1.4 PB of raw storage and 0.9 PB of usable storage. The Bionimbus PDC contains a data commons that contains about 0.5 PB of usable storage. The Bionimbus PDC can also access data from the open-access data commons. The other OSDC resources consist of a test bed, development machines, web servers, etc. During October 2013, there were about 150 active users out of a total of about 360 users. During October 2013, an average of 47% of the available core hours were used for the resources that were available for general users. Older resources were more highly used (86%), while newer resources were more lightly used (18%). The amount of usable space is less than the raw storage, since we make use of redundant array of independent disks (RAID) 5 and RAID 6 for GlusterFS and keep disks as hot spares.
