What is Rucio? Rucio enables centralized management of large volumes of data backed by many heterogeneous storage backends. Data is physically distributed over a large number of storage servers, potentially each relying on different storage technologies (SSD/Disk/Tape/Object storage) and, frequently, managed by different teams of system administrators. Rucio builds on top of this heterogeneous infrastructure and provides an interface which allows users to interact with the storage backends in a unified way. The smallest operational unit in Rucio is a file. Rucio enables users to upload, download, and declaratively manage groups of such files. https://rucio.cern.ch/documentation/started/what_is_rucio https://rucio.cern.ch/documentation/started/what_is_rucio
