(a) Schematic of the Consortium IT setup: the Krios 1 and Krios 2 networks are linked by 3× single-mode dark fibres (yellow line) connected to Cisco 9300 switches with 10 Gb modules in the communications rooms for the Cambridge Nanoscience Centre and Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy, respectively. The 450 TB `warm' storage server, Cisco 5515-X ASA hardware firewall and 1 Gbps leased line router are located in the Materials Science communications room (blue lines, OM3 Multimode Fibre, 10 Gbps; grey lines, 1 Gbps ethernet or fibre). The Materials Science communications room is connected to a second Cisco 9300 switch in the Krios 2 room, which is connected to the TEM PC, Support PC and Falcon Offload server. The Nanoscience Centre communications room houses the processing server and both primary and secondary storage servers, as well as the Falcon Offload server (with a direct OM3 connection to Krios 1). The Nanoscience Centre communications room is connected to a second Cisco 9300 switch in the Krios 1 room, which is then connected to the TEM PC, Support PC and the Gatan/K3 server.
