tape storage robot at Brookhaven Lab's SDCC (VIDEO)
Caption
The tape data archive of Brookhaven Lab's Scientific Data and Computing Center is very dynamic. When physicists want access to a particular dataset — or multiple sets simultaneously — a robot grabs the appropriate tape(s) and mounts the desired data to disk within seconds. Onsite processors can perform local data analyses, but even scientists located halfway around the world can tap into the data as if it were on their own desktop.
