Supporting Distributed Research Teams and Their Data Sharing Needs through Federated, Performant, On-Prem Object Storage: The Open Storage Network
DescriptionThe Open Storage Network (OSN) provides a performant and cost efficient distributed data sharing and transfer service for active scientific data sets, providing easy access and high bandwidth delivery of large data sets to researchers and compute resources. Following its inception in 2017, the OSN transitioned to a production-level pilot and welcomed others to utilize the network. Today, users can request storage allocations of 1TB-50TB via the ACCESS allocation process. This BoF provides an update to the community, and open discussion to address questions on joining the network, and gather input on user requirements.
