MUST computing and storage center is based on the most generic hardware and software infrastructure in order to match as many use cases as possible. A particular attention is given to performance and reliability of implemented solutions.

The platform’s computing and storage capacities have been growing for more than 10 years. The graphs below show the evolution of these capacities, expressed in SPEC HEP2006 units and Terabytes.

Other services are available through industrial partnerships with the IDEFICS project.
