Testbed and Targeted Functionality

Gateway• User registration and group

membership• Data browsing• Data search• Limited gateway customization• Basic gateway metrics• Authorization

Gateway-Data Node interaction• Data download via TDS• Basic data visualization via LAS• Data download from NCAR deep

storage no file streaming yet possibly data download from

NERSC too• Data subsetting (if time allows it)• Data publication via Data Node

application includes metadata transfer to

gateway includes dynamic configuration of

LAS and TDS• Data Node metrics collection and

transfer to gateway
