CERNBox is CERN’s flagship cloud collaborative storage platform and it has turned 10 years old.
In this talk we’ll delve into the main pillars that made this platform a success and the pitfalls and lessons learned of running a multi-petabyte platform satisfying the heterogeneous needs of thousands of scientists.
Working with sensitive research data is a challenge, along all steps of the research lifecycle. At the University of Oslo, we are developing and integrating solutions for data capture, storage, analysis and dissemination, to make it a little easier for researchers to work safely with sensitive data. The collection of services are what make up our internally developed research platform, called...
PSDI (Physical Sciences Data Infrastructure) https://www.psdi.ac.uk/ is a part of Digital Research Infrastructures programme in the UK, aiming to accelerate research in physical sciences by connecting various data and computation systems researchers currently use. The need of a data transfer and data sharing service was identified in the early stages of PSDI, followed by a service design...
ByCS Drive is a cloud service based on ownCloud Infinite Scale built for up to 5 million users in 6300 schools.
This talk will give a look at the architecture, focusing on storage, data security and scalability to assure performance under extreme peaks and growing data requirements. A short demo will showcase special compliance measures, the new user interface, and integration with other...
Backed by the 20 years of successful development and operation of the largest Italian research e-infrastructure through the Grid, the Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) has been running for the past three years INFN Cloud, a production-level, integrated and comprehensive cloud-based set of solutions, delivered through distributed and federated infrastructures.
INFN Cloud...
The publication of open research data (ORD) is becoming an integral part of publicly funded research. Scientific publishers, funders and research institutions often require researchers to publish the data and code that is relevant for their articles. This data needs to be citable and published in a repository that follows the FAIR principles. For scientific domains that generate large datasets...
Sunet Drive is Sweden's national data storage solution, and part of the ScienceMesh. It is a federated solution consisting of 54 nodes, one for every Swedish institution, including one node for external users. We will give an up-to-date overview of of Sunet Drive, including
- User and storage development
- New customer on-boarding and...
In this talk, we focus on a new paradigm to create a federated sync and share platform by
integrating Next Cloud and Cubbit.
In this paradigm, NextCloud acts as the sync engine and front-end application for
collaborative sharing, while Cubbit provides the scalable geo-distributed infrastructure on
which data are stored in a disaster-proof, redundant geo-distributed scheme. The goal of...
The DESY Sync&Share Service is based on NextCloud and dCache as underlying storage system. It currently offers several $\mathtt{PiB}$ to customers at DESY and many other laboratories within the Helmholtz Association. Since DESY Sync&Share is also used to store and share scientific data a better integration into the scientific infrastructure is desirable.
Using dCache as backend storage...
