Archival Storage Hardware

LC has archival storage systems for moving files between LC file systems and HPSS archival storage on all three networks:

Each user has a storage account with passwordless access from LC systems. See amounts below. For more information, see Using LC Archival Storage or Archival HPSS Storage.
