Storage Trends & SummariesTotal Bytes UtilizedThe growth in NERSC's storage systems amounts to roughly 1.7x per year.Number of Files StoredThe growth in the number of files stored is less than the growth in the number of bytes stored as the average file size has increased over time. The average file size as of August 2003 is about 30 MB. The median file size is closer to 1 MB.Monthly I/OThe growth rate of I/O is roughly the same as the growth rate of the number of bytes stored. As a rough rule of thumb, the amount of I/O per month is about 10% to 14% of the amount of data residing in the storage systems.Additional graphs show the last 30 days of activity for the amount of I/O and the number of files transferred.A yearly summary is shown in these pie charts which show the growth and distribution of the I/O traffic between storage and network destinations.Number of Tape MountsBoth systems share the same StorageTek tape library system, comprising 8 interconnected Powerhorn tape libraries and around 80 StorageTek tape drives. 44,000 tape cartridges can be stored in these 8 tape libraries.Daily mount counts for the last 30 days. |
