Taiga is a Global File System for non-HIPAA / non-regulated data. It facilitates researchers having access to their data on multiple systems at the same time.

Granite is a Tape Archive system that provides researchers with a place for long-term retention of non-HIPAA / non-regulated datasets. All data in Granite is replicated to two tapes for protection.

Taiga and Granite are closely integrated to make it easier for researchers to move data between them.
