The primary mission of the new CFA Main Distribution Frame (MDF)/Data Center is to provide updated MDF and data center capabilities for the INL, including system redundancy that is equivalent to Tier 2 and space and conduit routing for an upgrade to Tier 3 in the future. The intent is to address the aged nature of the existing data center and MDF capabilities at the CFA Complex and provide a foundation for additional computing requirements as INL’s needs adjust and grow into the future.
