Data transfer

Quite often large amounts of data is generated, and it can be worth spending some time considering how to transfer data from the data producer to storage and analysis environment. Consider the capacity of the internet connection, transfer via a low bandwith network can be so time-consuming that it might be faster and easier to send the data on a hard drive through carrier services.

SciLifeLab Data Delivery System

The Data Delivery System (DDS) is a cloud-based system for the delivery of data from SciLifeLab platforms to their users. It consists of a command line interface (CLI) and a web interface. This system is e.g. used by the National Genomics Infrastucture (NGI) for delivers of sequencing data.
