LLSM

The lattice light sheet microscopy setup consists of a 208-core compute workstation cluster located in the Warren Alpert Building, where the data is also acquired. This local cluster is connected via 80GB link aggregated fiber connections to the server infrastructure at the CLS building, where the data is stored and later archived to HMS storage.

Data Backups

Full and incremental backups are made of SBGrid file servers, including your home and data directories. These backups are usually kept for three months. If you need a file restored, please contact us at help@sbgrid.org.

Processed data is backed up to HMS storage.
