Help Us, Help Ourselves: Sharing Infrastructure Across Repository Networks
Wednesday July 29, 2026 2:00pm - 3:30pm CDT
Comal
Collaborative Notes
Open data repositories share a common core set of needs for computing and networking infrastructure. As repositories grow, there is an increasing trend to move 24x7 operational services from on-prem data centers to commercial cloud providers, often at significantly higher prices (redundant multi-site storage can be 10-30x higher than on-prem). In light of recent massive funding cuts, this Council of Data Facilities cluster session explores synergies and efficiencies gained when repository networks cooperatively provide mutual access to on-prem data center facilities. Case studies will focus on shared storage infrastructure, drawing on networks like OSDF and OSN. The session will develop a roadmap for a bottom-up community effort to help repositories help themselves.

Audience
Repository managers, technology developers, and open data facility users interested in sustainable, reliable, and accessible open data; academic and federal facilities
