Archive Migration – the Big Move of Archived Data

The Archive service enables RWTH employees to store data on a tape robot system for the long term. Archiving data in this way is primarily used to store data that, once stored, should also be stored in this form for the long term.
In the past, data inventories were stored here, primarily documenting measurement results, completed projects or project briefs. With the changes in the funding landscape, which among other things also rethink and demand the keeping of research data, the Archive service is also being rethought. This is partly because the current inventory system will be decommissioned in the summer of 2022 and partly because there is a need to hold data in a structured way in the future. So it’s time for a changeover.

Corona lockdown in NRW also applies to RWTH Aachen University
Germany does not yet have the Corona pandemic under control: the still rising number of new infections require a hard lockdown from December 16, 2020 until initially January 10, 2021. The RWTH Aachen University is also living up to its responsibility as the city’s largest employer and is switching university operations to emergency mode from Wednesday. Employees will work in mandatory home offices from Wednesday at the latest. Nevertheless, the operational capability of the university’s IT services – especially with regard to online teaching – will be ensured in any case.
As of December 16, 2020, RWTH Aachen University will go into emergency operation.

Christmas mood: Check!
This year everything is a bit different than usual. However, a few traditions should still be observed – of course, respecting the current hygiene regulations. Even if no big get-together is possible, the employees of the IT Center will come together next Friday, December 11, 2020, for a virtual Christmas party.
