New Web Based Services

In response to user demand, ARSC will begin rolling out  a variety of new services and capabilities to users in October 2011.   These new services will allow ARSC users to create a personal project-relevant webpage, a project-relevant website, and web-based access to $ARCHIVE.


 NOTE:   Regular ARSC storage policies apply to these web based services.  All users accessing the hierarchical filesystem ($ARCHIVE) via web based services must be conscientious about file staging to avoid unnecessary contention with other users' file stages.


Details regarding the new web services are included below.
