Description
We present our experience in setting up an xrootd storage cluster at CC-IN2P3 - a LCG
Tier-1 computing Center. The solution consists of xrootd storage cluster made of NAS
boxes and includes an interface to dCache/SRM, and Mass Storage System. The feature
of this system is integration of PROOF for facilitation of analysis. The setup allows
to take advantage of ease of administrative burden, scalability and performance of
xrootd, reduction of total cost due to integration of PROOF, while satisfying
requirements for SRM interface, strong authentication for transfer and complex data
management applied by LCG to site's storage. The same setup can be used at large or
small HEP computing centers as analysis facility and data access systems. Variations
of this setup for smaller sites are also considered. Feedback from experiments on
this setup is also reported.
