Organizational Page: Synology Category: Coding Title: Create a turnkey, open source data repository using Synology NAS Disk Station Manager Proposed by: Dave Vieglais Participants: Summary: The Synology line of NAS devices offer a scalable storage solution supporting extensible applications through their Disk Station Manager (DSM). In this session we will package the DataONE Generic Member Node software to be installable through the DSM management interface, and so offer a cost effective, scalable Member Node installation suitable for individual researchers through moderate institutional data repositories. Technologies: Python, HTML, Javascript, Disk Station Manager SPK format (http://www.cphub.net/docs/Developers.pdf).

Thinking a bit more about this, would this be better as a virtual appliance? There are a lot more people who could load an appliance up in AWS than who have a Synology unit.

The interesting aspect of this problem is the design question of how to modularize the data repository functionality separate from the metadata creation/maintenance function and the data discovery/evaluation functions.
