The HDF Group Announces Availability of HSDS Release v0.6

Sept. 9, 2020 — The HDF Group, a non-profit organization with the mission of advancing open source data management technologies, announced the general availability of Highly Scalable Data Service (HSDS) release v0.6.  New features include support for running on Microsoft Azure and support for POSIX-based storage.

HSDS is a REST-based solution for reading and writing complex binary data formats within object-based storage environments such as the Cloud. Developed to make large datasets accessible in a manner that’s both fast and cost-effective, HSDS stores HDF5 files as objects, but provides the functionality traditionally offered by the HDF5 library as accessible by any HTTP client. HSDS is open source software, licensed under the Apache License 2.0. Managed HSDS products, support, and consulting is offered through HDF Group’s Kita Data Products & Solutions.
