The HDF Group’s HDF Server has been nominated for Best Use of HPC in the Cloud, and Best HPC Software Product or Technology in HPCWire’s 2016 Readers’ Choice Awards. HDF Server is a Python-based web service that enables full read/write web access to HDF data – it can be used to send and receive HDF5 data using an HTTP-based REST interface.

HDF Server [1], released in February 2015, was first developed as a proof of concept that enabled remote access to HDF5 content using a RESTful API. HDF Server version 0.1.0 wasn’t yet intended for use in a production environment since it didn’t initially provide a set of security features and controls.
