Description
At the RAL Tier 1 we have successfully been running a CASTOR HSM instance for a number of years. While it performs well for disk-only storage for analysis and processing jobs, it is heavily optimised for tape usage. We have been investigating alternative technologies which could be used for online storage for analysis. We present the results of our preliminary selection and test results for selected storage technologies.
