1 Developing a Data Management Plan C&IT Resources for Data Storage and Data Security Patrick Gossman Deputy CIO for Research January 16, 2014

2 Key Goals  Preserving Your Data  Protecting Your Data from unauthorized access or tampering  Providing Secure Access to Your Data

3 Is this you?

4 What do you see?  Office environment –Secure? –HVAC/Electrical?  Backup next to computer?  Both devices very portable  Self maintained equipment?

5 Key Data Questions  Is this your only copy?  Is this your only backup?  What if someone steals your computer or external hard drive?  What will you do WHEN your disk drives fail?  Can you regenerate data or pull down a copy from elsewhere?

6 Key Access Questions  Is your environment secure?  Water? Electrical problems?  Who has access to your computer or local server?  Operating system vulnerable?  Has your security been tested? Security audit? Penetration test?

7 How C&IT Can Help  Consulting  Assistance with preparing grants  Computing, data storage and security solutions

8 Resources  High Performance Computing Grid –Free access and some storage –Buy-In for a priority cluster (free mgt)  Colocation of your physical server –Physical security, power (free) –file backup (fee)  Hosted services under VM (fee) –Server and file backup included –Good solution for a Web server

9 HPC Grid  Research and teaching  Free access  Multiple queues  Two main architectures –High core (64 per processor) –Faster processors (8 cores each)  415 TB of High Speed Storage 

10 Colocation

11 Virtual Machines (VM)

12 Other Resources  Special data storage/replication solutions  Virtual Private Network  SSL Certificates  Nessus (vulnerability) scans  Penetration testing (fee)  Science DMZ for fast and secure data transport

13 Science DMZ?  Demilitarized Zone  Separate high-speed (10 gbs) network with restricted access  Funds - Physics/C&IT NSF grant  Uses –Move large (TB size) files between instruments/data repositories –Provide low-latency, real-time connections to instruments or performers

14 10 Gbps Science DMZ Physics Mott CompSci Medicine C&IT To Universities, National Labs, Businesses via Internet2, ESnet, LHCNet, LHCONE… Funded by NSF grant to Physics/C&IT. Est. completion June, 2013

15 Wish List  More storage  Private cloud  Desktop backup  Cyberinfrastructure (Research Computing) Strategic Plan --- Have you answered the survey?
