        Distributed data management at JGI 15m

        The DOE Joint Genome Institute is a user facility that generates genome sequence data and analysis products for the environmental research community. I’m an effort to be more resilient to outages, JGI has recently shifted to a distributed computing model. I will briefly describe our hierarchical data management system that complements our centralized workflow system.
