Resource Allocation• Two calls yearly for applications of resource

allocation (starting Apr 1 and Oct 1), computing and storage

• https://www.metacenter.no/mas/application/project

• RFK is appointed by Sigma2 and allocates the resources according to set guidelines

• Extra resources can be applied for at any time, albeit with allocation limits

Project area

• Provide users with storage resources (1TB - 1PB) on disk/tape, no automated backup

• High-speed data staging in development to facilitate efficient data transfer between Notur and Norstore (1TB/hour)

• Self-service administration: user initiated password reset and project managers administrate project members using the project management interface

Service for sensitive data (TSD)

• Service developed and operated by UiO/USIT

• Supported & funded by NorStore since 2012

• Secure storage and handling of (person-identifiable) sensitive data – offered from July 1, 2013

• USIT offers dedicated computing cluster for sensitive data (colossus) in “secure” environment

Research Data Archive

• providing access to public-funded research data

• long-term (10 yrs to permanent) archive service

• federated authentication (Feide)

• web-based user interface

• requires that users document their data according to the Norstore meta-data schema within a grace-period of 3 months from date of upload

• DOI identifiers (using dedicated Norstore prefix doi:10.11582)

• offer NLOD + CCv4 license

• support web-based (limited) uploads and staging from project area

• link data to scientific publications

• data can not be modified or deleted

Reporting• Reporting primarily consist of registering project ID

and infrastructure (Notur or Norstore) as funding source in CRISTin (https://www.norstore.no/access/report)

• A user survey is conducted yearly for all active users (project managers)

• It is essential that these requirements are obeyed as they are required to document the legitimate need for the infrastructure
