DataFlow is a tool that enables scientists to capture scientific metadata and transmit data via a simple web interface to a designated, centralized data storage resource (CADES Home by default).
Once data is at a centralized location, users can move data to other resources; use a scientific data management system to share, manage, and organize data; use connected cloud and high performance computing resources for large scale data analytics; publish data and many more things. DataFlow can also be deployed in proximity to scientific instruments if the instrument control computers are not connected to the internet and such data transmission capability is desired at these computers (without connecting the computers to the broader network) and/or when consistent / high data transfer rates are desired.
