... The current data archive has a capacity of about 400 TB, in which tape robots move data between tape cartridges of roughly 20 GB capacity and a 1 .6-TB disk cache. A high-speed network gateway delivers up to 90 MB/sec transfer rates to computational nodes via networks of various kinds.

... data in the database. Expressing the map data in XML permitted building quite simple presentation viewers using commercial tools.
From page 21...
... The writings of the electronic archive community make it clear that a universal metadata set is extremely unlikely. The SDSC projects exploited the ability to tailor metadata sets for each collection.
From page 22...
