| Abstract: |
The CADC is now making extensive use of the VOSpace protocol for user
managed storage. The VOSpace standard allows a diverse set of rich data
services to be delivered to users via a simple protocol. We have recently
developed the cadcVOFS, a FUSE based file-system layer for VOSpace. cadcVOFS
provides a filesystem layer on-top of VOSpace so that standard Unix tools (such
as ‘find’, ‘emacs’, ‘awk’ etc) can be used directly on the data objects stored
in VOSpace. Once mounted the VOSpace appears as a network storage volume inside
the operating system. Within the CADC Cloud Computing project (CANFAR) we have
used VOSpace as the method for retrieving and storing processing inputs and
products. The abstraction of storage is an important component of Cloud
Computing and the high use level of our VOSpace service reflects this. |
