(GridPP3) Goals • Storage Element interfaces (SRM+GridFTP+IS) • GridFTP performance • IS accuracy • Deployment/upgrade/maintenance/ debugging • Standards compliance, interoperable • Usable storage
Things to Ponder for the Workshop • GridPP3 still has ~1yr to go
Last workshop – July 2009 • Configuration/deployment revisited • cfengine, Quattor, puppet • Procurement, monitoring • STEP outcome reviewed – we did OK • Are we still doing OK…? • Hammercloud • Old chestnuts: space alloc. and pledges, accurate publishing, ACLs, bottlenecks, networks, dark data, file://, load balancing, pool draining, stability • New chestnuts: hot files
Last workshop – July 2009 • Future stuff: filesystems, virtualisation • ext4, ZFS • Distributed filesystems (or “filesystems”) • Lustre, NFS4, GPFS, AFS, Hadoop, xrootd • Integration of monitoring? • Planning for investing, procurements
So finally • Thank you for coming • Have a nice and productive workshop
