Data Transfer Facilities

THIS PAGE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION

The implementation of a reliable data transfer mechanisms between the nodes of the iMarine Data e-Infrastructure is one of the main objectives when dealing with large set of multi-type datasets distributed across different repositories, like the one made available by the iMarine EA Community of Practice.

To promote an efficient and optimized consumption of these data resources, a number of components have been designed to meet the data transfer requirements.

This document outlines the design rationale and high-level architecture of such components.

Main Components

the Data Scheduler & Agent components

this family of components guarantees VO/VRE Administrators the possibility to transfer data among Data Sources and Data Storages. It can be exploited as well by any web services to implements data movement between infrastructure nodes by relying as well on the facilities offered by the Result Set components
