Speaker

Simone Campana (CERN)

Description

  • How to reduce the overall cost of the infrastructure, e.g. by:
    • Reducing the amount of scattered storage
    • How to procure and incorporate large scale compute resources at scale
    • What is the networking model - OPN–style private?
    • The use of other resources: HPC, volunteer, etc. What is the model for distributed sites (Tier 2)?
  • The idea of setting up an early prototype of a data/cloud infrastructure to test ideas (a la “Zephyr” proposal) - suggestion already supported by several Tier 1s
  • What about specialist sites/resources (HPC, GPU etc) for specific workflows
  • Security considerations, especially access control and how that affects performance and cost
