We are pleased to report that we have received, installed, and configured a new 3 Petabyte IBM SpectrumScale (GPFS) storage system.

We have completed our initial file transfer from the current system to the new one. Over the coming months, we will need to perform periodic synchronizations of data from the current system to the new system. This may have a performance impact for jobs running on the cluster. We will make every effort to minimize this impact and appreciate your patience.
