ARCHIVE Storage

The ARCHIVE storage is a complex solution expanding the platform for efficient distributed data complementing the existing IT4I storage systems. It serves as the central data storage for archiving long-term data of laboratories and research projects, particularly the REFRESH project (Research Excellence for Region Sustainability and High-tech Industries).

The ARCHIVE storage is built on Nodeum and Quantum Scalar i6 technology.
