The R-Drive is a file storage service offered by LTS's Research Computing Team to provide Lehigh users with significant additional storage for larger files or collections of data than are handled by other systems.
What is Ceph?
Ceph is the Research Computing system in which the R-Drive is hosted. It allows LTS to share massive amounts of high-speed, high-availability (redundant) storage space over the Lehigh network.

Nevertheless, since the R-Drive’s systems are on campus, owned by Lehigh, and under the university’s direct control, files can be stored on the R-Drive without concern for compliance with the Cloud Computing Policy.
Who is eligible for access to the R-Drive?

Full-time faculty get 1TB of space at no cost, and need only to log in (see instructions below). Everyone else, including faculty who need additional storage, can purchase a Ceph Project space. R-Drive and Ceph Project space cannot be combined.

R-Drive space cannot be increased or shared with other R-Drive users. It also cannot be combined with a Ceph project space. If Lehigh Faculty need additional space, they will need to purchase a separate Ceph project. More information about Ceph is available on the Ceph FAQ.
