Cray has been awarded a contract to deliver a Tiered Adaptive Storage (TAS) solution to the North German Supercomputing Alliance (HLRN). This Cray TAS installation consists of more than one petabyte of data storage and is upgradeable to more than 75 petabytes within the delivered architecture.
The North-German Supercomputing Alliance is a joint project of the seven North-German states of Berlin, Brandenburg, Bremen, Hamburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Niedersachsen, and Schleswig-Holstein, and was established in 2001.
