The Swestore Nationally accessible storage is avaliable for researchers financed from VR (which includes all researchers using SNIC compute resources) and FORMA.

Swestore is in collaboration with ECDS, SND, Bioimage, BILS, UPPNEX,WLCG, Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet. If any of these cover your research area, first read their information on applying for SweStore storage.

In the future, applications for storage will be handled by each research community, but for now an email to swestore-support@snic.vr.se will suffice.

Please include the following information:

  • Name of the principal investigator (PI).
  • Purpose for the storage: A short description of the project and type of data.
  • Required storage capacity: Preferably a maximum size, but if this is not currently determinable, please calculate a starting size and expansion by time period. NOTE that applications larger than 10TB takes longer to process.
  • Suggested project name: This will be used as root directory name for your storage.
  1. NOTE that this name is long-lived and will persist. It is not coupled to the lifetime of SNIC compute time allocations.
  2. The name must be limited to lower-case letters a-z, digits 0-9 and underscores _.
