Storage services

We offer large amounts of storage (multi-TB) with Ceph, either attached to BFH.science compute servers or (much slower connected) as standalone network shares (NFS/SMB). New shares are semi-automatically provisioned within 24 hours during work days and are available at no cost for both students and staff members. Permissions for shares are configured by users through self-service LDAP groups.
