Description
Network-attached online storage, aka cloud storage, is a very popular form
of storage service provided by many commercial vendors. Providers include
Dropbox, Box, Google Drive, MS One Drive and Amazon Cloud Drive. All
have similar capabilities, providing users with quota space and custom
applications to transfer data between local sites and cloud storage. In
addition, all have well designed Web GUI's that allow users to manage
their data online. Although HEP and nuclear physics communities with massive
production data services have been slow to adapt to such services, some users
have been using them as a convenient medium to store selected data and
documents and share them with their collaborators. BNL Box is an effort to
provide local users with such online capabilities with additional useful
functions specific to large scale data science such as tape archiving,
restoration from tape archive, high speed uploading/downloading and data
streaming. This presentation will present the current status of the BNL Box service.
