RDC Integration
The Aruna Object Storage (AOS) is part of the cloud layer of the RDC. It is an object storage designed as open source storage platform that allows scientists to store, annotate and share their data according to the FAIR principles.
AOS is a fast, secure ,and geo-redundant data storage. It offers a sophisticated metadata management according to the FAIR principles. It builds the foundation for RDCs mediation and semantic layer and and handles all stored data objects data-agnostically.
AOS key features are:
Data storage - Easily store large volumes of arbitrary data.
Metadata enrichment - Enrich and group a user's data and metadata together for easier access and better organization.
Secure Storage - Secure data storage from the moment of upload.
FAIR - All data is managed according to the FAIR principles.
Easy Sharing - Flexible data sharing made easy with flexible presigned URLs.
Effortless Migration - Effortless migration from AWS thanks to S3 compatible interface.
