The Target Field Lab exploits the facilities of the Centre for Information Technology (CIT) of the University of Groningen (UG).

- The large scale Data Handling Facility, which currently has a capacity of 3,000 TBytes (3 Petabytes) of data on a lustre file system and 20 application servers.
- The Peregrine computer cluster, which currently has almost 6,000 cores.
- An Oracle database Real Application Cluster with a capacity of 150 TBytes on solid state drives. Oracle is one of the leading multinational corporations for computer technology, developing enterprise software and hardware solutions.
- Access to the 250-seater Virtual Reality dome theatre in DOT- DOTliveplanetarium (3D).
- A large capacity tape backup facility using IBMs Tivoli Storage Management.
During the course of the project it is intended to add further facilities. These include:
-
Data archiving systems using a choice of iRODS or dCache
