Description

The needs of the user data management has grown constantly in the last years.
With the current generation of supercomputers CSC did some restructuring on how user data is brought to CSC’s services.
The current workflow centers around Allas - an S3/SWIFT object storage service, which is central to the data management at CSC. What has the user experience been like after some years of using this approach?
What have the users been missing? What are the main pain points, and what are our development targets?
