Integration of OSN-NSDF data movements

The “First Meter” Problem:

• High-throughput instruments have an impedance problem
• Both for data rate (few TB/min) and data volume (PB)
• Data needs to be first captured at a high rate and then transferred to an HPC center for processing (where it is free)

This can be solved with multiple dedicated local pods acting as high-capacity caches with a customizable NSDF software layer on the back end (compression, data transform).
