NubiSave is a freely available user-space controller for Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive, Independent or even Optimal Clouds (RAIC/RAOC).
Through dispersion, the data is secured beyond encryption and made inaccessible in its entirety to the individual storage providers. NubiSave is being developed in the context of the FlexCloud research project.

Features

  • Builds on FUSE, and integrates with a number of cloud-storage-related FUSE modules, including CloudFusion
  • Integrates with the SPACE service platform for optimal storage provider selection, allocation and scheduling
  • Offers extensible tree-like interfaces for nested splitters, encryption, steganography, compression etc.
  • Includes a Java setup GUI and a (not yet complete) PyQT setup GUI
  • Technical features: cache, parallelism, streaming, ...
  • Developer features: functional unit tests, UI unit tests
