Give Your Data the Edge

A Scalable Data Storage and Delivery Platform

Syndicate is a general-purpose data delivery platform that harnesses a collection of existing storage components to provide a global, scalable, and secure storage service. These include public and private cloud storage (for data durability), network caches and content distribution networks (for scalable read bandwidth), and local disks (for local read/write performance). Syndicate's goal is to allow applications to access data independent of where it is stored, and do so in a way that both minimizes the operational overhead imposed on users and maximizes the use of commodity infrastructure.

Syndicate's Value Proposition

Cloud-Ready: Syndicate allows users to mount shared volumes into cloud-hosted virtual machines (VMs) with minimal operational overhead.
Provider Independence: Syndicate allows users to take advantage of cost/performance tradeoffs (and spread risk) among multiple storage providers with minimal operational overhead.
Scalable Read Bandwidth: Syndicate provides scalable read bandwidth (i.e., supports a scalable number of users) with minimal operational overhead.  ​
Secure by Default: Syndicate allows users to securely share files across organizational boundaries, at scale, with minimal operational overhead.
Adapts to Existing Workflows: Syndicate makes it easy to integrate existing user workflows, datasets, and toolkits, as well as extend and customize to meet specific community requirements (e.g., privacy). 
Sustainable Design: Syndicate provides a general-purpose storage platform that leverages commodity storage and network caches at every opportunity.
