MSD-IT Second Tier Storage (2TS)

2nd Tier Storage (2TS)

MSD IT 2nd Tier Storage is a data storage service intended for less mission-critical data such as experimental results files and longer-term storage that is less time-sensitive.

MSD IT 2nd Tier Storage for larger data sets, offers a low-cost alternative to purchasing additional space on our existing high-availability storage. Utilising generic components and open-source technologies, we are now able to offer basic reliability and large-scale storage at relatively low cost.  Where raw capacity is the main requirement, rather than high availability or longer-term daily file versioning, 2TS aims to be a cost-effective solution.
