      abstract     = {The ever-increasing volumes of data produced by modern
                      scientific facilities like EuXFEL and LHC put significant
                      stress on data management infrastructure operated by
                      laboratories and research centers. The challenges to be
                      addressed span the entire data life cycle, from ingest and
                      efficient data analysis to long-term preservation, typically
                      involving large tape libraries. dCache, a storage system
                      developed in collaboration between the Deutsches
                      Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY), Fermi National Accelerator
                      Laboratory, and Nordic e-Infrastructure Collaboration
                      (NeIC), is designed to manage a large number of disk servers
                      and to facilitate transparent data migration to and from
                      archival storage. Its multifaceted approach offers a unified
                      method to support a variety of scientificuse cases with the
                      same storage infrastructure, including high-throughput data
                      ingest, data sharing over wide area networks, efficient
                      access from HPC clusters, and long-term data preservation on
                      tertiary storage. Initially developed for High Energy
                      Physics (HEP) experiments, dCache is now used by various
                      scientific communities, including astrophysics, biomedical
                      research, and life sciences, each having specific
                      requirements. This paper presents architecture, deployment
                      strategies, performance and scalability enhancements, and
                      recent advancements in dCache addressing the needs of
                      scientific communities. Finally, we touch on the development
                      and release process, ensuring the software’s high
                      quality.},
