Storage Rate Definitions

 

  • File Storage: File Storage provides standard ways for individuals and groups to share files across intranets and the Internet. By using a remote file-access protocol that is compatible with the way applications already share data on local disks and network file servers, File Storage enables collaboration on the Internet.
  • Secure File Storage: Secure File Storage provides a way for faculty and staff to transmit and store Moderate and High Risk Data. It is for both Windows and Macintosh desktop and laptop computers. Faculty and staff who participate in the Secure File Storage service must have Stanford Whole Disk Encryption (SWDE) installed and encrypt their laptop or desktop computer. They must also use either the Stanford Virtual Private Network (VPN) or Stanford Network Access Control (SUNAC) while transmitting files. Individual and group accounts are available.
  • Server Storage (High Performance): Server Storage (High Performance) offers a better level of performance through faster disks and network.  Most services that require low latency will find the level of performance more than sufficient; examples include databases, virtualization farms, email and calendar.
  • Server Storage (Standard Performance): Server Storage (Standard) handles unstructured data, e.g. application related data, digital media and web content. Server Storage (Standard) uses the University's general-purpose public network. Storage devices in this group are significantly cheaper and meet the generic performance for block-level data storage requirements.
  • Wasabi S3-Compatible Cloud Object StorageDesigned to be a drop-in replacement for AWS S3 for multi-cloud solutions, Wasabi is value-oriented, high-performance, low-latency and highly-available cloud object storage offering. Data traverses Internet2 networking from SUNet to their West Coast data center.
