* News: no news.
* Alessandra Forti (University of Manchester (GB)) - Impact of Data Lake Model on Total Cost of Ownership : Manchester as ATLAS Large T2
- current setup details
- LHCb, DUNE, SKA currently share the storage
- UK is consolidating the storage
- smaller and medium sites will become CPU
- sites that lose storage because of manpower reduction tend to disappear and adding a cache is a second order problem
- assuming they don’t disappear they will put an extra load on the network and storage of the larger sites and the T1
- networking: 10Gbs redundant directly to the backbone, regularly saturated
- working on increasing bandwidth to backbone to 40Gbs
- changing storage solution from DPM
- JBOD and Erasure Coding seems the way to go (at the cost of more IOPS and bandwidth)
- future developments should keep separated the storage layer from the grid layer and QoS intelligence layer
- Data carousel based on data at T1 being transferred: trade off of networking vs disk (Manchester processed 243 TB of RAW data)
- Other QoS: Caches (network has been bottleneck till now), old storage (intelligent use of this is definitely needed), and/or Erasure Coding (resilience testing)
- Manchester will likely evolve towards: Ceph+xrootd (cum-HTTP-TPC)+EC and internal networking being upgraded in view of that (not now, and not in a rush)
- long term testbed and evolution like for DOME and TPC
* Frederic Derue (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (FR)) - Impact of Data Lake Model on Total Cost of Ownership : GRIF as ATLAS Medium/small T2
- existing DPM storage federation in France (e.g. ALPAMED)
- GRIF a distributed Tier2 in Ile de France
- info about HR and Funding Agencies in slides
- details about infrastructure, Network storage end-points per supported VO, and available resources in slides
- short/middle term evolution of GRIF presented wrt HR, support to VOs, CEs and SEs
- DataLake implementation in ATLAS: Rucio, FTS and other components already included
- recent evolution for http-tic protocols, macaroons etc
- with the probable phasing out of DPM, another storage tech should be chosen
- remote access, protection with XCache in front of WN or in network
- hardware problem / lost files
- GRIF not in DOMA yet because of several reasons
- diskless site model not interesting for GRIF
- going towards storage consolidation
- CEs is not clear if will be reduced
- SEs would reduce incrementally in accordance with endpoints
- DPM: disk are failing from time to time, loosing files is more rare
- DPM problems: great reduction in term of maintenance of the service; difficulties in exposing storage resources spread geographically (endpoints could not work in resilience mode)
