Data Storage

 

The data collected by the various instruments is written to a 50-75 GB RAID. This RAID has 4 ports on it that may be simultaneously used by 4 different hosts, which provides an aggregate data rate of 60 MB per second, enough to support all 3 existing backends simultaneously. VLBI data will be stored directly on VLBI tapes, as is currently practiced at the 140 ft. telescope.
