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.
Around 1380 projects have already been migrated – that’s about 1 PB of the total planned 2.5 PB. Project owners with particularly large amounts of data were contacted directly to arrange individual dates for the migration.
The speed of the transfer varies depending on the project and depends, among other things, on the number of resources and the quantity and size of the files contained.
We will provide regular updates on further progress.
