13. EMI INFSO-RI-261611 Apr 21, 2011 EMI Data,.... EGI UF2011, Vilnius 13 The Mission Fixing of issues based on the experience of operating the infrastructures for some years. Improving or creating interoperability between components and middle-wares. Reducing components by merging functionality or removing duplication. Applying standards where available Standardizing EMI-Data mechanisms with “standardization bodies” e.g. OGF EGI : Attracting resp. enabling new communities. Becoming competitive and attractive – Standards – Professional Support – Strict quality monitoring

16. EMI INFSO-RI-261611 Apr 21, 2011 EMI Data,.... EGI UF2011, Vilnius 16 Standardization : WebDAV Very useful for new (non-LHC) communities. ITEF Standard Allows “File system like” access with Mac OS Linux Windows

17. EMI INFSO-RI-261611 Apr 21, 2011 EMI Data,.... EGI UF2011, Vilnius 17 Standardization : NFS 4.1 / pNFS Simplicity Regular mount-point and real POSIX I/O Can be used by unmodified applications (e.g. Mathematica..) Data client provided by the OS vendor Smart caching (block caching) development done by OS vendors Performance pNFS : parallel NFS (first version of NFS which support multiple data servers) Clever protocols, e.g. Compound Requests

Developing a storage infrastructure – We need to know how much storage space is used, by which group/user, on which storage media – To know where to put the money when increasing the storage space – To know who to ask for the money to increase the storage space Basis for billing – Storage is expensive – Some non-academic resource owners may not like to give it away for free Jon prepared a draft definition of a StAR -> OGF existing working group (Jon becoming Co-Chair) Presentation on StAR Wednesday afternoon

31. EMI INFSO-RI-261611 EMI Data EMI Data is a good opportunity to get our storage management middleware into a maintainable shape. Standardization is the way to get broader acceptance by other communities, which is especially important for EGI. EMI-Data will become THE competitor in Storage Management in Europe. Everybody can join or may provide suggestions through WLCG or EGI.eu. Apr 21, 2011 EMI Data,.... EGI UF2011, Vilnius 31 Conclusions
