For several years, the Broadcom corporation has been supporting computing at UC with substantial donations of computing hardware. Previous donations of computers and disk arrays have benefited other UCs, as well as OIT, ICS, and researchers at UCI.
Broadcom recently donated disk arrays totaling almost 100 terabytes, comprising 24 shelves of high-performance disks compatible with OIT’s existing campus disk storage, used for campus email and departmental shared space. This donation will allow OIT to expand our available space and improve disk performance.
OIT is currently exploring making network-accessible disk space available to departments on a cost-sharing basis. Interested departments should contact Andrew Laurence (x43966) to discuss options.
