Following the DPM EOL announcement, we have considered options for transitioning to a supported Grid storage solution. Our choice has been to integrate our site storage in Bern with the NDGF-T1 distributed dCache environment. In this presentation we outline the option scenario, motivate our choice, and give a summary of the technical implementation as experienced from the remote site point of view.
Over the years, we have built a federated dCache over multiple sites. As of late, we have integrated a couple of new sites, as well as improved our automation and monitoring. This talk will focus on the current state of dCache deployment, administration, and monitoring at NDGF-T1.
The CERN Tape Archive (CTA) is CERN’s physics data archival storage solution for Run-3. Since 2020, CTA has been progressively ramping up to serve all the LHC and non-LHC tape workflows which were previously handled by CASTOR. 2022 marked a very successful initial Run-3 data taking campaign on CTA, reaching the nominal throughput of 10 GB/s per experiment and setting new monthly records of...
CERN Storage Services are key enablers for CERN IT workflows: from scientific collaboration and analysis on CERNBox, to LHC data taking with CTA and EOS, to fundamental storage for cloud-native and virtualized applications.
On the physics storage, 2022 was marked by the absence of a Heavy Ion run. The energy crisis resulted in a shorter LHC run than anticipated and the impact will continue...
How we make use of tape systems to help big data processing for Project sPhenix.
Project sPhenix has a projected data volume of 650PB through 2026. Using tape system smartly will provide us a fast and reliable storage and lower the storage cost.
