Project Summary
The XRootD project provides a high-performance, fault-tolerant, and secure solution for handling massive amounts of data distributed across multiple storage resources, such as disk servers, tape libraries, and remote sites. It enables efficient data access and movement in a transparent and uniform manner, regardless of the underlying storage technology or location. It was initially developed by the High Energy Physics (HEP) community to meet the data storage and access requirements of the BaBar experiment at SLAC and later extended to meet the needs of experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN.
