Elizabeth Bautista is the manager for the Operations Technology Group (OTG) at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab’s National Energy Research Scientific Computing (NERSC) Center (www.nersc.gov). The group of Site Reliability Engineers ensures 24x7 accessibility, reliability, and security of NERSC's High Performance Systems, data storage systems, and the facility environment. NERSC is the primary scientific computing facility for the Office of Science in the U.S. Department of Energy. The team also serves as the Network Operations Center for the Energy Sciences Network (www.es.net) during off hours.
Bautista's Data Team manages a 125 TB Elastic/VictoriaMetrics based data warehouse infrastructure that collects at a rate of 25,000 - 400,000 data points/second depending on the source. The types of datasets range from the facility environment (power, temperature, humidity) to storage I/O to system logs of the HPC systems and support services. The analysis of the real-time data provides alerts to manage the facility, and the archived data is correlated to provide business decisions and future trends.
Bautista supports programs that seek to involve minorities and women in STEM and advocates that the next generation of professionals has practical hands-on training as part of their education. In her career, she has served as a member of the Lab’s Computing Science Diversity Group, is a member of Women Scientists and Engineers, was a delegate in the Council of University of California Staff Assemblies (CUCSA), a staff advocate group, she champions issues of retention and diversity and is the founder of Filipinas in Computing, a community in the Grace Hopper Conference. Bautista was named one of the 100 most influential Filipina Women Globally in 2015. She has a B.S. in Computer Information Systems and an M.B.A. in Technical Management both from Golden Gate University.
