Ian Bird LHCC Referees’ meeting; CERN, 11 th June 2013 March 6, 2013

Main points Several countries stated that the goal of aiming to fit within constant budgets would be appreciated - But concern that equipment renewal must fit within this as well as capacity expansion Misunderstanding of current situation? Some discussion on desirability of seeking funding asap to retain key personnel in various countries as EC funds come to an end - Problem is that H2020 unlikely to provide funds before at least 1 year (likely 18 months) from now Chair of RSG will work together with MB to try and improve the requirement/scrutiny/pledge process prior to October RRB – to reflect experience and adapt better to budget and procurement timescales March 6, 2013

Resource use March 6, 2013

CPU & disk servers installed - Currently: ~5000 cores; ~few PB disk All fully tested Will be put in production as part of the Agile Infrastructure - Managed by Openstack as part of lxbatch (SLC6 deployment is being done this way) - With new release of Openstack WAN connections (2x100 Gb/s) in production since February March 6, 2013

EMI and EGI-Inspire ended CERN groups – integrated into a new team - Brings together ES and GT - Involved in: EUDAT, iMarine, CRISP, HelixNebula - Group size will decrease by 50% over one year Sections - Operations and Liaison - Monitoring Infrastructure - Information and Data Programme of work set (partly) in conjunction with experiments - Try and keep some level of flexibility to address priorities March 6, 2013

Long term thinking Vision paper for discussion with EC and EIROforum User Forum paper – guide the direction of future infrastructures by the science communities Data preservation – see Jamie’s talk Research Data Alliance Software investment – optimise how we use CPUs/storage/networks None of this is HEP-specific!
