Some examples of the long-term archive at RZG

  • Long-term storage for experiments at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics

    1. Asdex Experiment at IPP (~1980-1990): about 33500 shotfiles smaller than 5 MB, about 83 GB in total, copied from tapes to MR-AFS in the late 90's.

       

    2. W7AS Experiment at IPP (1988-2002): about 60000 shotfiles of 1.5 to 90 MB, about 2.2 TB in total. Generated from 1988 to 1995 in VM/CMS on IBM mainframes and stored in HADES. Generated from 1995 to 2002 in VMS or UNIX (AIX) and store in MR-AFS.

       

    3. Asdex Upgrade Experiment at IPP (since 1993): about 20000 shotfiles with many associated diagnostics files with a total of about 26 TB. Storen from 1993 to 1995 in AMOS2 on IBM mainframe. Since 1995 in MR-AFS.


  • Gamma-Ray-Astronomy at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics

    1. COMPTEL (1991-2000): about 2 TB in container files of size ~100 MB. Store in HADES from 1991 to 1995, then copied to MR-AFS.

       

    2. EGRET Energetic Gamma Ray Experiment (1991-1996): about 56 GB stored in AFS.

       

    3. INTEGRAL (2001-2010 and beyond), until today more than 5 TB in small files stored in AFS, everything on disk.


  • Magic Projekt (Max Planck Institute for Physics et.al.)

    1. Gamma-Ray Telescope on the Canary Islands. Since 2003 over 53 TB in MR-AFS.


  • Long-term storage of data from Max Planck Institutes for humanistic sciences

    1. Videos and sound documents from the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in Nimwegen since 2004, about 1.1 TB copied up to now in Nimwegen into AFS.

       

    2. Picture collection of the Biblioteca Hertziana in Rom since 2004, about 800 GB copied up to now into AFS.

       

    3. Picture collection of the Institute for Art History in Florence since 2004, about 3.3 TB copied into AFS.
