The CFU storage cluster is used for storage the massive amount of data from SARUS and for processing the data.
It consist of 12 Fujitsu-Siemens TX 200 machines each with two 6 core Intel Xenon processors and a very fast RAID system with 10 TBytes of data.
The total amount is 120 Tbytes and four 10 Gbit Ethernet links connects it to the SARUS scanner. Each disk system can store 400 Mbytes/sec, which makes it possible to store several Gbytes of data per second.
The processing is controlled by the batch system SLURM and the cluster can process 288 independent jobs at the same time.
