Data management solutions designed for Australian bioscience
Life sciences researchers are benefiting from the nifty integration that allows secure data transfer between Galaxy Australia and CloudStor. The streamlined movement of data between the two freely-available platforms demonstrates how collaboration between services are meeting the needs of Australian life science researchers.
The 20,500 registered users of the Galaxy Australia data analysis platform can now easily and securely move their data to and from the AARNet CloudStor research data storage platform. The integration was introduced to allow users of Galaxy Australia to more easily share data with colleagues and collaborators through CloudStor. The ability to seamlessly move data into Galaxy for analysis and back out for long term storage avoids messy local uploads and downloads.
This powerful combination of secure scalable cloud storage with a ready-to-use analysis platform comprising all the necessary compute, tools and workflows is easily accessed. CloudStor can be linked to a Galaxy user's account through a simple configuration, with data security at both CloudStor and Galaxy. Users simply navigate to their folders and files and import data directly through Galaxy’s Upload Data / Choose remote files option. Similarly, when an analysis is finished, Galaxy users simply invoke the “Export datasets to remote files source” where they can select single, multiple or dataset collections for export to CloudStor.
