There's also

  • SRM interface. This has more functionality than GridFTP such as reserving storage and can use GridFTP as the underlying transport.

Deployment of data services

For many sites the basic data services would be available in a standard virtual machine called ngdata. The data services would be attached to appropriate storage such as a compute cluster file system, a data repository or an instrument's data cache. Sites may choose to install individual services on existing machines for various reasons.

The centralised services will be only installed in one or two locations ensuring that there is some kind of high availability solution for these services.

Referring to data location from within a grid job

EnvironmentVariables defines how standard environment variables can be used to access data from a grid job. It was written for the APAC program but it is still relevant.
