The XROOTD project aims at giving high performance, scalable fault tolerant
|
||
|
|
access to data repositories of many kinds. The typical usage is to give access
|
||
|
|
to file-based ones. It is based on a scalable architecture, a communication
|
||
|
|
protocol, and a set of plugins and tools based on those. The freedom to
|
||
|
|
configure it and to make it scale (for size and performance) allows the
|
||
|
|
deployment of data access clusters of virtually any size, which can include
|
||
|
|
sophisticated features, like authentication/authorization, integrations with
|
||
|
|
other systems, WAN data distribution, etc.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
XRootD software framework is a fully generic suite for fast, low latency and
|
||
|
|
scalable data access, which can serve natively any kind of data, organized as a
|
||
|
|
hierarchical filesystem-like namespace, based on the concept of directory. As a
|
||
|
|
general rule, particular emphasis has been put in the quality of the core
|
||
|
|
software parts.
