Onedata – A Step Forward towards Globalization of Data Access for Computing Infrastructures

New paper: Onedata – A Step Forward towards Globalization of Data Access for Computing Infrastructures

Discover how Onedata virtualizes globally distributed storage, combining new data organization concepts, provider cooperation, metadata synchronization, and on-demand file transfer for high-performance access.

Abstract

To satisfy requirements of data globalization and high performance access in particular, we introduce the originally created onedata system which virtualizes storage systems provided by storage resource providers distributed globally. Onedata introduces new data organization concepts together with providers' cooperation procedures that involve use of Global Registry as a mediator. The most significant features include metadata synchronization and on-demand file transfer.
