Description
INFN CNAF is a multi experiment computing center acting as Tier-1 for LCG but also
supporting other HEP and non HEP experiments and Virtual Organizations.
The CNAF Tier-1 is one of the main Resource Centers of the Grid Infrastructure
(WLCG/EGEE); the preferred access method to the center is through WLCG/EGEE and
INFNGRID middleware and services.
Critical issues to be addressed to meet the requirements of the LHC experiments are
stability, robustness and scalability of the services provided: in particular
technical infrastructural services like power supply and cooling, CPU, data handling
systems and network infrastructure to cope with the amount of data foreseen in the
LHC era, database and experiment-specific services, monitoring, authorization and
accounting, and 24x7 support.
In this poster we present the current status of the INFN Tier-1 infrastructure and
services, an assessment of the experiences gained so far, and the expected evolution
leading to the startup of LHC experiments.
