Description

What can your XRootD server do?

The Open Storage Service (OSS) provides a plugin interface allowing one to manage how the server interacts with the underlying storage. This allows XRootD to do more than interact with a POSIX filesystem; plugins can work with other storage (such as HTTP, S3, multiple POSIX users, or Globus) or stack on top of other plugins (filtering the visible filesystem, managing I/O load, or providing more monitoring information).

This talk will cover the available plugins in the XRootD ecosystem managed by the Pelican and OSG teams and how they can provide value to deployments.
