⭐Starfish

Starfish is a software application for managing files and objects at any scale. Starfish enables users to view all their storage allocations across multiple platforms in a single view and to participate in storage management and content classification.

Some of the key features of Starfish are

• Metadata and content classification

• Reporting and analytics

• Data usage insights

  • Types/sizes of files, access times

  • Hot Spots (Growth, user(s)/Group(s)

• Data migration

• Archive and recovery

Starfish uses 'zones' to facilitate researchers with their own unique view of storage. A 'zone' combines storage owned by a researcher on different storage platforms providing a holistic view. So, to begin using Hibernate service, a PI/researcher should request a zone that also provides access to the Starfish tool.

Today, the Starfish tool can provide insight into the following storage platforms:

• files22.brown.edu

• files.brown.edu

• lrs.brown.edu

• oscar

• nfs*.brown.edu
