 +JASMIN is architected as a large data , small compute - a "Super Data Computer". It comprises a flexible mix of services including : 
 +
 +  * 44Pbytes (Usable) high performance storage. A mix of 
 +    * Scale Out file. 
 +    * Traditional Parallel file. 
 +    * Flash File.
 +    * High performance object storage.
 +  * 80Pbytes Tape capacity.
 +  * Compute resources of around 20,000 cores split between
 +    * (An approximation to) A traditional HPC batch system. 
 +    * 2 OpenStack Clouds - both IaaS and PaaS in each. 
 +    * Traditional virtualisation. 
 +    * Container platforms.
 +  * Data transfer zone ("Science DMZ")

 +Utilising only a high performance low latency ethernet network for connectivity. The network uses a 5 Tier CLOS  Layer 3 Routed architecture.
