Petra3: Mass Storage and Computing Requirements Petra-3 experiments use central IT infrastructure wherever possible. Users of the demanding experiments may not have sufficient resources at their home institutes. Requests (demanding experiments) Raw data: 260 TB/ year Backup Live time of big data sets ~ 6 months To be decided: Archive Computing power: ‘Near real time’ analysis for optimizing measurements Offline: Reconstruction for demanding experiments Setting up system tests Data transfer speed: detector -> central file store Processing speed Remote access: data and compute cluster 16-Oct-08 Th.
