Testing the Archivas Cluster (Arc) for Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) Scientific Data StorageThe Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) launched on NASA's Aura Spacecraft, the third of the major platforms of the EOS program on July 15,2004. In addition to the long term archive and distribution of the data from OM1 through the Goddard Earth Science Distributed Active Archive Center (GESDAAC), we are evaluating other archive mechanisms that can archive the data in a more immediately available method where it can be used for futher data production and analysis. In 2004, Archivas, Inc. was selected by NASA s Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) program for the development of their Archivas Cluster (ArC) product. Arc is an online disk based system utilizing self-management and automation on a Linux cluster. Its goal is to produce a low cost solution coupled with the ease of management. The OM1 project is an application partner of the SBIR program, and has deployed a small cluster (5TB) based on the beta Archwas software. We performed extensive testing of the unit using production OM1 data since launch. In 2005, Archivas, Inc. was funded in SBIR Phase II for further development, which will include testing scalability with the deployment of a larger (35TB) cluster at Goddard. We plan to include Arc in the OM1 Team Leader Computing Facility (TLCF) hosting OM1 data for direct access and analysis by the OMI Science Team. This presentation will include a brief technical description of the Archivas Cluster, a summary of the SBIR Phase I beta testing results, and an overview of the OMI ground data processing architecture including its interaction with the Phase II Archivas Cluster and hosting of OMI data for the scientists.
