GridPP Tier 2 SRM Storage Workshop:
What's in Store?
RHUL 12 - 13 April 2010
Location: Arts Lecture Theatre 2, RHUL
EVO :Title/Link: GridPP Storage Workshop Phone Bridge ID: 1785885Aims:
With data now being produced at the LHC, Storage Resource Management (SRM) solutions are now facing significant challenges. This workshop therefore provides a forum where the UK grid community can:1. Identify significant issues from site experiences of LHC data analysis.
2. Provide training and spread good practice for current SRM solutions.
3. Consider emerging technologies that may address these challenges.
