Storage for the LHC Experiments
Authors: Dr. JONES, Roger (LANCASTER UNIVERSITY), Dr. VAN WEZEL, Jos (FZK)
Track: Computing Facilities and Networking
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.
