Research data sharing and collaboration
CloudStor provides the research and academic community with an easy-to-use collaboration workspace and integrated tools for sharing and analysing data.
Unlike most cloud storage services, CloudStor is designed to meet the specific needs of researchers.
Why CloudStor?
- 1TB free storage for individual researchers at AARNet-connected institutions + group storage quotas for research projects.
- Quick and secure file transfer with no file size restrictions.
- Single sign on using home institution credentials (for Australian Access Federation members).
- CloudStor web interface for access to file storage, FileSender, AARNet Mirror and other applications.
- OnlyOffice for collaboratively editing a wide range of document types directly in the CloudStor portal.
- Run and write Jupyter notebooks to analyse data in CloudStor using the SWAN Service for Web-based ANalysis.
- Storage located in Australia and directly connected to the AARNet backbone for rapid and convenient access, and avoiding any sovereignty issues.
- Data is replicated at a minimum of two geographically distributed storage nodes for high reliability and availability.
- Data is backed up to tape storage, providing persistent backups and a third copy.
- Cloudstor uses EOS, the scalable back-end storage developed at CERN.
- Sync client is available for Windows, Mac, OSX, Linux, iOS and Android.
- Access Amazon and other cloud data stores remotely using WebDAV and S3.
- Upload data sets from scientific instruments with CloudStor Rocket upload tool.
- Works with institutional repositories and national merit-based storage.
- A sustainable service that AARNet plans to provide indefinitely.
