Experimental platform

Participant : Sébastien Campion [correspondent] .

Our experimental platform, consisting of dedicated equipments to experiment on very large collections of multimedia data, was upgraded in 2014. In order to replace old hardware, we acquired 380 TB of additional disk space. Divided in two categories, the first part (140 TB) must replace in 2015 our current network area storage where datasets are stored. The second part (240 TB) is dedicated to a distributed storage filesystem (CEPH), used to store our experimental results with high IO performances for use with the mesocluster IGRIDA.
