Abstract:

Cross-site collaboration between research centers is becoming increasingly crucial, with researchers accessing storage or computing resources from other institutions. However, this collaboration results in the need for large data transfers between different storage systems for computation or archival purposes, which can be a challenging and time-consuming task. To address this need, the Steinbuch Centre for Computing (SCC) at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) designed a data transfer federation in the context of NFDI4Ing project, base services-S4:repositories & storage. A data transfer federation is a collaboration of storage providers across multiple organizations, to enable access to data with federated identities and automated, scalable data access and data transfers between the storage systems. Our proposed federation allows researchers to access and transfer data between different storage systems using their home organization's user account, based on their access rights to the resources in a collaborative project. The storage systems in a federation are either dedicated large-scale systems or systems associated with High-Performance Computing (HPC). ... mehr
