The migration of all Coscine projects has been ongoing since the beginning of July 2025: The previous storage system, Research Data Storage (RDS), is being completely replaced by Datastorage.nrw. Step by step, all projects are therefore being transferred to the new infrastructure.
To date, around 1.5 PB of the total 2.5 PB of research data has been successfully migrated. The Coscine project with the largest storage space to date is currently undergoing migration. The project owners of the largest Coscine projects have already been contacted individually to agree on a suitable time for the migration. We currently expect the migration to be completed by the end of the year at the latest. Further information on the process can be found in our documentation.
