[ome-devel] Data storage feature in Bisque

[Harri Jäälinoja]

Hi all,

here is some info about how the Bisque team is addressing the need to 
connect to external data management systems:

To me this sounds very good, a similar mechanism could be valuable also 
in OMERO. At the moment, if we put our images in OMERO, we are still 
working more or less only with the /OMERO directory, and don't really 
know what we will do when that disk is getting full. By enabling 
integration with iRODS, S3, HDFS etc., OMERO would let users use their 
favourite/available tools to solve the storage/data management problem, 
and OMERO could focus on the visual aspect of the data.

Best regards,
Harri
