Near-line Data Store - Server Documentation

This is the documentation for the Near-line Data Store (NLDS) server, a tool developed at JASMIN to provide a single interface for disk, object storage and tape. We also have separate documentation for the NLDS client.

These docs are split into a user-guide, if you plan on simply running the NLDS server; a development guide, for some of the specifics required to know about if you plan on contributing to the NLDS; and an API Reference.
