The Triathlon Relay of Storage Space Provisioning
Abstract: The increasing demand for storage space in data-intensive sciences necessitates the establishment of cooperative information infrastructures among universities. This paper introduces the provisioning processes around DataStorage.nrw, a redundantly distributed cloud storage solution across four universities in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW). Access to DataStorage.nrw is free for eligible researchers who meet specific criteria: they must be employed at a DH.NRW university, their storage needs must arise from a research project, and the data must adhere to FAIR principles. The allocation process resembles a triathlon relay, integrating various software disciplines to facilitate efficient resource provisioning. The workflow comprises three stages: Identity and Access Management (IAM) ensures secure user authentication; the RDM platform Coscine manages research metadata and project structures while streamlining compliance with FAIR principles; JARDS serves as the science-led review mechanism for storage applications, ensuring that resources align with funding objectives. By fostering cross-service interoperability and embracing agile processes, we aim to avoid isolated solutions and enhance collaboration among universities. Ultimately, our approach not only addresses immediate data management challenges but also provides a scalable framework that can serve as a blueprint for other universities seeking to establish similar cooperative infrastructures.
