Project Description

What is the motivation behind onboarding this data to Filecoin?

Our customer is a Dark Matter Group within UC Berkeley and Seal is involved in a project with them to store the outputs of their scientific experiments. They would like to upload data to a distributed platform for other globally based researchers to be able to access this data

What organizations are involved in this project? Sources of funding, SPs partnering in onboarding, other service providers, etc.?

Seal will also be keeping a hot copy (400 TB) for the Customer available for access.

The data ingestion will follow this approximate schedule:

55 TB right away
by the end of year 1: 5 TB
by end of year 2: 50 TB
by end of year 3: 290 TB

Are you going to offer NDAs to notaries?

• [ x] Yes
• No

Dataset description

The data sets are the original outputs of scientific experiments.
Total amount of DataCap being requested is 2 PiB

Why is it useful to the Filecoin network?

The current data set requires permission based access.
A goal of the pilot project is for Seal to work with our customer to provide a permission based model to access data. Staged data for access will be supported on IPFS, Seaweed FS Open Source tools.

Storage needs

Is the data to be stored in a single region, either due to geopolitical constraints or data owner policy?

• Yes
• [ x] No

Which SPs will you/the data owner be working with to store the data?

Storage Providers Identified for project Baikal
Holon, Australia 400 TiB

How were these SPs identified?

We are currently discussing capabilities and performing due diligence with several SPs and have chosen three SPs for this project. We chose these based on their current storage capacity, compute capabilities, enterprise-grade DCs and bandwidth.
