Mid- and Long-Term Remote Access Storage
Overview
This service provides distributed storage based on Ceph and EOS with local and remote access for AI datasets, trained models, artifacts, backups, and application data. It is intended for users and services that require scalable object-based storage with standard API-based access across AI, data, and cloud workflows. Access protocols supported are S3, WebDAV, Posix/FUSE, and xrootd. The service relies on managed distributed storage integrated with the SLAIF storage environment, supporting API-based access for applications, pipelines, and data-management workflows.
Outcome
Scalable and interoperable object storage for datasets, models, artifacts, and other assets used across AI and cloud workflows.
