Abstract:

This webinar aims to present some iRODS key concepts and provide a
step-by-step tutorial for end-users.

The iRODS technology is well mature and is now widely used for managing
large amount of distributed data. It has been the chosen candidate for
the Eudat Common Data Infrastructure.

This tutorial begins with a presentation of the advantages of storage
virtualisation in terms of performance, flexibility, scalability and
evolutivity for safe replication and data curation.
Then, this tutorial reviews of iRODS principles including the client
server architecture and notions of zone, federation,  catalog, mounted
collections.

The second part of this tutorial focuses on basic operations.
A first set of operations as an iRODS client include:
- setting up a connexion to an iRODS server
- transferring data via iCommands or via the iRODS web interface
A second set of operations include
- creating zones, resources and users
- administer an iRODS federation

Finally, this tutorial will end interactively with a session of specific
questions from the pool of users.

Many thanks,

Adam
