Overview

ROSS (short for Research Object Storage System) is a multi-protocol, web-based storage system, currently based on the Dell EMC Elastic Cloud Storage (ECS) system.  The primary 4.2 PB storage unit for ROSS resides on the UAMS campus.  In the coming months the UAMS unit will be connected with a 2 PB sister unit sited at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, to allow for a limited amount of off-site, replicated storage.  ROSS currently has 23 storage nodes, with 15 at UAMS and 8 at UA Fayetteville.   Future expansions could increase the number of storage nodes and capacity.
