Detailed description of the service 

The Data Transfer Federation allows researchers to access and transfer data between different storage systems using their home organization’s user account, based on their access rights to the resources in a collaborative project. The storage systems in a federation are either dedicated large-scale systems or systems associated with High-Performance Computing (HPC).

The data transfer federation is based on FTS3 developed by Cern.

Apart from the offer to transfer files, the service also considers organizational aspects to allow high volume data transferring between sites.
