WLCG Service Reliability Workshop

WLCG / EGEE / OSG operations and evolution in the coming years

IT Auditorium (CERN)

WLCG Operations - What is Required to support LHC experiments?

Description

WLCG / EGEE / OSG operations are now well established, through:

• Weekly joint operations meetings
• Bi-annual (roughly) workshops
• Sessions at WLCG collaboration workshops
• A set of tools, procedures and documentation.

This session summarises the current state of global operations as well as the possible evolution beyond (or even during) the next phase of EGEE (III) - in the light of the EGI Design Study.

In particular, we need to establish a clear view of our current needs in terms of efficient operations and how this would map to a model where National Grid Initiatives (NGIs) play a significant role.

The issues of 24x7 operations also needs to be discussed with priority.

Subcontributions

• Operations - the current model
• EGI - possible directions and scenarios - the EGI Design Study
• Operations Review - hot topics from recent months
• WLCG Requirements - what do we need for 2008 and beyond?
• Robust Services & 24x7
• Effective PPS - how to make the PPS more effective for the experiments
