Procuring new IT equipment for the CERN data centre requires
optimizing the computing power and storage capacity while minimizing
the costs. In order to achieve this, understanding how the existing
hardware resources are used in production is key.
To that extent, leveraging traditional monitoring data seems to be the
way to go.
This presentation will explain how we extract...
STFC's Scientific Computing Department, based at RAL, runs an ever increasing number of services to support the High Energy Physics, Astronomy and Space Science Communities. RAL’s monitoring and operations services were already struggling to scale to meet these demands and the global pandemic highlighted the importance of these systems as home working was enforced. This talk will cover the...
The BNL Computing Facility Revitalization (CFR) project is aimed at repurposing the former National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS-I) building (B725) located on BNL site as a new data center for Scientific Data and Computing Center (SDCC). The CFR project has finished the design phase in the first half of 2019 and then entered the construction phase in the second half of 2019 which is...
In this presentation we give an overview of SDCC's new support for the National Synchrotron Light Source 2 (NSLS-II) at Brookhaven National Lab. This includes the operational changes needed in order to adapt to the needs of BNL's photon science community.
