Engineers and scientists at JPL can get access to these machines at no charge.

Mass Storage

The JPL SVF provides users with ample space for storing their datasets, which can often be very large. These include the user's home directory, a temporary directory and a directory on the tape backup system. Users may store their data in the system that best meets their needs. More information about the mass storage options can be found here:
