Features
DiGS is a distributed-data management system that combines commodity storage resources — such as RAID systems and Storage Area Networks — into a large-scale, unified file repository, which is presented to the end-user through an easy-to-use, lightweight client toolkit.
The key features of DiGS are:
- Capacity for multi-Terabyte, distributed storage.
- Robustness with automatic and transparent replication of data across multiple sites.
- Continuous data validation and consistency checking.
- Support for bulk data transport operations.
- Security based on standards-compliant techniques for authentication and authorisation.
- Capability for data provenance with application-specific metadata.
- Simple and intuitive client tools
