Fermilab

Tanya Levshina (Fermilab)

OSG Storage Forum will be held at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory on June 30th (afternoon) and July 1st, 2009. We are planning to discuss emerging storage technologies suitable for T2/T3 sites. The storage software developers and expert storage administrators will be invited to share the tips on how to improve stability and scalability of deployed storage system. We would try to assess storage readiness for LHC and identify the area where we need improvements.
