Storage

Helmholtz Imaging Storage is offering to the community of Helmholtz Imaging scientists the opportunity to exchange large imaging datasets. A data volume of 1 Pb is provided and operated by DESY. The Helmholtz Imaging Storage is a dCache instance (dcache.org) and can be used via dCache’s webinterface. dCache offers also the possibility to create and share individual directories or files with the world. This is possible by creating links, which become invalid after a certain amount of time.
Interested?
Together with your collaborators, you can become a VO (virtual organization) in Helmholtz AAI, and as such you get common access to a directory to share the datasets you need to exchange for successfully conducting your research.
Using Helmholtz Imaging Storage for the exchange of data is only the first stage of implementation. Future plans include also the possibility to publish imaging datasets following the FAIR principles via Helmholtz Imaging Storage. The realization of the future plans depends on your demand.
