Renew MSI access

When and how does a research group renew MSI access?

Research groups will need to renew their MSI access once annually, in the period from November 1 to December 1 of every year. Renewal by December 1 ensures access for the following calendar year.

At the time of renewal, researchers describe current and upcoming work for the next year and are allocated storage resources accordingly. All groups are required to renew.

The Principal Investigator or Group Admin can click on this link to renew. Note that this page is only available during the renewal period from November 1 to December 1 each year.

Is my data safe on MSI systems? Do I need backups?
Knowledge base

You should always maintain backups of critical data! However, MSI follows best practices in protecting your data from loss or corruption, and in general your data is quite safe -- about as safe as any other data you might have stored in the cloud, and much safer than the hard drive in the computer on your desk.Both the High Performance Primary Storage (Panasas) and the Second Tier Storage (Ceph) are protected by a RAID-like system so that data is not lost if some of the hard disks in our system fail.
