Description
Following on from the LHC experiments’ computing Technical Design Reports, HEPiX,
with the agreement of the LCG, formed a Storage Task Force. This group was to:
examine the current LHC experiment computing models; attempt to determine the data
volumes, access patterns and required data security for the various classes of data,
as a function of Tier and of time; consider the current storage technologies, their
prices in various geographical regions and their suitability for various classes of
data storage; attempt to map the required storage capacities to suitable
technologies; and formulate a plan to implement the required storage in a timely
fashion. This group met for several months, and can now report on its findings.
Summary
The results of a HEPiX Task Force on Storage in the LHC eara will be presented.
