The ubiquitous Apache webserver httpd was chosen as an endpoint due to it's modular design and familiarity for many IT administrators. The endpoint can be deployed easily and equipped with backend storage of the administrator's choice.
The configuration of the Apache enables it to interface with FTS3.
First tests of HTS showed that transfers between connected centres are very feasible and the systems interoperate seamlessly with the Helmholtz AAI.
The transfers could be executed with a bandwidth of 80 - 120 MB/s, thus making it possible to transfer 1TB worth of data in less than four hours without the need for further user interaction.
#### HTS for Helmholtz AI
First tests of the HTS showed that transfers between connected centres are very feasible and interoperate seamlessly with the Helmholtz AAI.
The transfers could be executed with a bandwidth of 80 - 120 MB/s, thus making it possible to transfer a terabyte of data in less than four hours without the need for further user interaction.

Other centres have already shown interest in establishing endpoints for the participation in HTS and will thus enable more and more researchers to easily share data sets.
#### How-to
For submitting transfers between known endpoints, you can visit [webFTS](https://webfts.fedcloud-tf.fedcloud.eu/), log in with HelmholtzAAI and submit your transfers via the "Submit a transfer".

Simply enter the URLs of both endpoints, select the files you want to transfer and click on the arrow for the corresponding transfer direction.
You can then monitor your jobs under "My jobs" and see when they are completed.
We will also supply a small video demonstration for using HTS with webFTS in the very near future.

We also plan on adding another data management layer that makes policy-driven tranfers possible in order to share datasets automatically between designated participants in cross-centre collaborations.

This will make HTS a complete solution for federated data management.
