Description
Chelonia is a user-friendly, grid-enabled storage system from the developers of the ARC middleware. Chelonia talks fluently with ARC and users can easily upload and download files and collections to the storage cloud managed by Chelonia and share their files (data, photos, movies etc) with any other user of the system. Chelonia is also capable of interacting with other storage solutions, allowing users to map third party storage elements into the storage cloud managed by Chelonia. Chelonia has a distributed, non-intrusive architecture that allows for flexible setup and the elimination of single points of failure. Based on SOAP, Chelonia consists of four web services residing within the ARC service container HED. All the services are replicated and all metadata are consistently replicated to ensure high availability. We aim to demonstrate how a fully operational system can be installed and configured in less then 30 minutes. Additionally we will demonstrate its usability and robustnes.
