This whitepaper presents the results from benchmarking of Perifery Swarm object storage on a multi-Terabit converged Ethernet Software-Defined Storage Super Data Cluster deployed by the UK Science and Technology Facilities Council’s (STFC) Scientific Computing Department (SCD) for the JASMIN project.

Many datasets, both model and observational data, are too big to be easily shipped around; JASMIN enables scientists to bring their processing to the data. It offers flexible data access for scientists to collaborate in selfmanaging group workspaces, enabling models and algorithms to be evaluated alongside curated archive data and data to be shared and evaluated before being deposited in the permanent archive.
