A Multi-Protocol, Secure, and Dynamic Data Storage Integration Frameworkfor Multi-tenanted Science Gateway Middleware
Science gateways are user-centric, end-to-end cyberinfrastructure for
managing scientific data and executions of computational software on
distributed resources. In order to simplify the creation and management of
science gateways, we have pursued a multi-tenanted, platform-as-a-service
approach that allows multiple gateway front-ends (portals) to be integrated
with a consolidated middleware that manages the movement of data and the
execution of workflows on multiple back-end scientific computing resources. An
important challenge for this approach is to provide an end-to-end data movement
and management solution that allows gateway users to integrate their own data
stores with the gateway platform. These user-provided data stores may include
commercial cloud-based object store systems, third-party data stores accessed
through APIs such as REST endpoints, and users' own local storage resources. In
this paper, we present a solution design and implementation based on the
integration of a managed file transfer (MFT) service (Airavata MFT) into the
platform
