Stanford University - SRCC | Research Storage Administrator | ONSITE | SF Bay Area (Stanford, CA) | Full-Time | https://srcc.stanford.edu/
The Stanford Research Computing Center (SRCC) is a dynamic and fast-paced team that delivers research computing and data (RCD) services to Stanford's diverse research community of faculty, postdoctoral scholars, students and staff.
We're hiring a storage administrator to work on Lustre-based storage for our ever-growing HPC systems.
In this role, you will:
* Perform day-to-day operations to ensure continuous operation of petabyte-scale on-prem research storage systems. This includes provisioning storage for researchers; collaborating with a wide range of research projects through support requests; handling change requests; and monitoring system health and performance
* Diagnose and repair software/hardware failures
* Develop training materials for and conduct sessions on efficient use of SRCC storage resources
* Find ways to optimize data transfers by working with researchers to understand their specific data workflows
We're looking for someone with proven skills in Linux who would like to evolve and enter the world of HPC and parallel filesystems in particular. Join us and support cutting-edge research!
Exactly that. We have 2000+ users, and 1000+ compute nodes. Each compute node does have a certain amount of local SSD (`$L_SCRATCH`) for job-local storage, but for everything else we have to use some sort of network-accessed file system. For us, that is NFSv4 for longer-lasting data (`$HOME` and `$GROUP_HOME`) to the Isilon over Ethernet, and short-term data (`$SCRATCH` and `$GROUP_SCRATCH`) to Lustre over Infiniband.
