CASTOR: CERN's Hierarchical Storage Management System for Physics Data Archiving
By
naves
Summary
CASTOR (CERN Advanced STORage manager) is a hierarchical storage management system developed at CERN for archiving large volumes of physics data. It uses disk and tape storage, and provides access through protocols like XROOT (the main recommended protocol) and GridFTP. Files can be stored, listed, retrieved, and remotely accessed via command-line tools or the CASTOR API. It is the successor of SHIFT (Scalable Heterogeneous...).

Files can be stored, listed, retrieved and remotely accessed using CASTOR command-line tools or user applications that were developed using the CASTOR API.
CASTOR provides a set of access protocols such as XROOT (the main and recommended protocol) and GridFTP.
