Simplified Multi-Tenant for Data Driven Personalized Health Research
- Diego Moreno (ETH Zurich)
Description
Personalized Health Research is data driven and it requires powerful Data and IT infrastructures to securely store, manage, compute on and share sensitive personal data. For this, the Scientific IT Services of the ETH Zurich has built Leonhard Med - a secure and high performance IT platform to support data driven biomedical research.
In this context, system administrators and vendors need to implement technical solutions that preserve the confidentiality and privacy of the data. At the same time, it is required to share some common resources such as the file system or the network. Lustre provides multi-tenancy, subdirectory mounts, the SSK feature and the great flexibility of LNET. This set of features can appropriately address some of the security layers required in the context of personalized health.
In this presentation we will show how the Leonhard Med platform at ETH Zurich tries to make use of some of these Lustre features. The focus is to maximize the simplicity for the setup and administration of the file system while keeping all of the advantages provided by Lustre.
