SMART FIRES Data Lake Training Session

The SMART FIRES (SF) data lake–a premier team data storage resource for big data–is now ready to use! A data lake is a lightly structured resource for use with active internal (i.e., non-public) data. This will be of particular importance to researchers generating, managing, and sharing large datasets. The SF data lake can be used with Globus data transfer capabilities to:

• facilitate swift movement of large data sets between collaborators;
• enable better data management for big data; and
• provide an ongoing opportunity for the team to collectively and consistently select and apply data management best practices.   

The SF Cyberinfrastructure (CI) Team led an initial data lake training session for SF researchers on Tuesday, April 9th, 11:00am – 1:00pm MDT.
