How can we use new technologies to make it simpler to run Tier-2 storage? How does automated failover and remote access to data change the landscape? Can we negotiate changes with WLCG and the experiments to accommodate "best effort" storage provision?

54. Discussion on storage

Andrew McNab (University of Manchester), Dr David Colling (Imperial College Sci., Tech. & Med. (GB)), Dr Samuel Cadellin Skipsey (University of Glasgow / GridPP)

Recommendations for simplifying the operation of Tier-2 sites using virtualization. Can we leverage experiments' support for VMs to shift some sysadmin burden to them? Can we leverage cloud infrastructures provided by university IT services?

53. Discussion on job execution
