  4. WestGrid – UBC/TRIUMF Site • 504 dual 3.06 GHz Xeon IBM blades • Red Hat Linux 9 to allow GPFS (NFS nixed) • OPENPBS Scheduling with (MOAB) Maui • 10 TB disk storage • 70 TB tape storage • Direct Gigabit connection between sites • Possible 10GB in future • February 2004 – opened for general use.
