Software Designed to Make Data Distribution Easy

  • The Pelican Platform is designed to meet the needs of data providers and consumers in the age of “Big Data.”
  • Its mission is to provide a platform that makes deploying data easy and accessing this data easier via well documented APIs and client tools.
  • Pelican facilitates the ability for researchers to access and transfer data from where it is stored to where it needs to run.
  • Pelican works to efficiently transfer open data to researchers who require it. Pelican provides an open-source software platform for federating dataset repositories together and delivering the objects to computing capacity such as the OSPool.
