6. Capacity Planning Considerations… The Tier-1/A capacity originally planned to be available for 06Q1 was put into production in late April 2006 (CPU). The disk capacity is scheduled to be available in early August. The new SL8500 tape robot began providing a production service in March. The first three T10K tape drives for the GridPP tape service are expected to be delivered in July together with 200TB of tape media. The SL8500 robot will be upgraded from 6000 to 10000 slots (paid for by CCLRC). Tenders for 500 kSI2k and 237 TB of disk at the end of June. Good progress is being made on the deployment of CASTOR2 (providing HSM capability and SRM interface to storage) which remains on schedule for a production service in September. For the Tier-2 centres, additional capacity was made available in 06Q1, with the incorporation of capacity at two additional large centres (Manchester and Liverpool). The available CPU in the first quarter increased to 3703 kSI2k such that 75% of the MoU commitment has now been met, with disk increasing to 263 TB. CPU utilisation of this much larger resource was 23% with overall disk utilisation improved at 61% in 06Q1. Additional capacity improvements are envisaged at Bristol, Cambridge, Glasgow and QMUL during this year. The GridPP resource utilisation outturn for 2005 updated to include 06Q1 is available from http://www.gridpp.ac.uk/docs/gridpp3/GridPP-PMB-92-Utilization.doc.http://www.gridpp.ac.uk/docs/gridpp3/GridPP-PMB-92-Utilization.doc
