One of the first large-scale academic deployments of cloud storage in the world, UC San Diego campus users, members of the UC community, and UC affiliates are eligible to join the hundreds of users who already benefit from the 3 petabytes of raw space, which is organized into object-based cloud storage by OpenStack’s Swift platform.

SDSC Cloud Storage is the perfect storage choice for researchers with fixed budgets because unlike other cloud providers, SDSC features a simplified recharge plan that eliminates secondary fees such as bandwidth costs, charges assessed per request, and regional migration fees. In addition to storage, SDSC Cloud now includes compute options. Users can spin up instances on demand.
