JetStor® Storage Supports the World’s Leading Atmospheric Research

UCAR is responsible for the financial, human resources, facilities, and core information technology functions that are essential to its success, no small feat considering the roster of employees and participating scientists scattered across seven continents. Its many applications must always be available, and storage performance has become critical because of the increasing size and sophistication of its apps. Compounding the challenge is the Enterprise Information Technology (EIT) migration of some business functions to a hybrid environment using local data centers and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) for greater efficiencies, enabling the team to retire a myriad of physical servers.
