DataCatalyst
DataCatalyst allows companies to implement a globally distributed service and extensible framework for policy-based data tracking, transport, and synchronization.
DataCatalyst starts with abstract requests for relevant data in the context of a business workflow, and utilizes information about file location and replicas, preferable source sites, and request composition to assemble the appropriate data set. The product makes efficient use of available bandwidth and storage by performing incremental updates to a partial data set from nearby locations using an optimal protocol.
Benefits include:
- More efficient use of network bandwidth through use of replicas and incremental updates
- Improved reliability of transfers despite host and network failures
- Faster data set assembly through optimal site selection and load balancing
- Global availability of data though a uniform naming scheme
- Easy user access to data using domain-specific approaches
- Streamlined integration of data requirements with compute workflows
- Highly secure access to data across security realms
- Lower risk through open source and open standards
