Abstract
Big data is becoming an important component of science. Researchers
need tools that address their end-to-end distributed data management
needs. But the small and medium research labs often lack the
resources to deploy and maintain sophisticated software
infrastructures. So, there is a strong need to do data management
with modest effort. End users do not have the time and expertise to
learn complex software. So the data management tools must be
exceedingly easy to use. At the same time, these tools must be
highly efficient and utilize the capabilities of advanced compute
and network infrastructure. In this talk, I will present our work on
hosted services that enables researchers to move, sync and share
data in a simple, yet efficient way. I will also briefly discuss our
work on resource and application aware protocols to effectively
utilize 100 Gigabit networks and beyond.
