Kepler

[edit]

Introduction

Kepler recently provides support for the Storage Resource Broker storage management system as an interface to provide efficient storage functionality. SRB serves as a storage management system in the Grid environment. SRB provides secure and optimized file transfer functions along with seamlessly access to data from heterogeneous physical resource using a logical namespace. Moreover, SRB includes built-in replication, bulk-replication, and a metadata query functionality through a MetaData Catalog (MCAT).

SRB in Kepler

Using SRB in Kepler provides an efficient storage management; data access and transfer functionality, server side processing of data using proxy commands and efficient search functionality using metadata. Moreover, as Kepler is a cross-project collaboration extending to various scientific disciplines, SRB provides data access to diverse repositories using a single namespace.

Other benefits of using SRB in Kepler include third party transfer, shipping and handling of data, and persistent archiving. Detailed information is available at KeplerSRBDoc
