We are happy to announce that in the last quarter five educational institutions joined Seafile community, including Max Plank Society (MPS) in Germany, Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center (PSNC) in Poland, University Hannover in Germany, Institute of Informatics at the University of Zurich in Switzerland, St. Paul’s Hospital of University of British Columbia in Canada.
We are working with Max Plank Digital Library (MPDL) on the Keeper project. The Keeper project is for the exchange, storage and long-term archiving of research data. Researchers at the Max Planck Society (MPS) are required to comply with the “Rules of Good Scientific Practice” adopted by the Senate of the MPS, which include guidelines for long-term archiving of primary data for at least 10 years. The syncing performance, reliability and support for large files is critical to the success of the project. MPDL chose Seafile after throughout testing for about a year. Seafile’s high reliability and the ability to sync very large file (even 1TB in size) makes it a very satisfying solution for them.
We are also working with Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center (PSNC) to provide a file syncing and sharing service to universities and schools in Poland. Initially, the service will introduced to a few selected universities. After the pilot, the service will be introduced to more universities. PSNC have been using Seafile community edition for almost 2 years. They compared multiple products and find Seafile the most reliable and performant. “Users want the ‘Dropbox’ equivalent, not something else.” says Maciej Brzezniak, storage management team leader from PSNC, “Users appreciate Seafile’s performance and reliability in file syncing.”
St. Paul’s Hospital of University of British Columbia uses another product for internal file sharing and collaboration for a few years. After switching to Seafile, they find the reliability and performance of the service are much improved.
We’re looking forward to bigger developments for Seafile in educational communities in the year of 2017!
