BwDataArchiv

Focus of the project bwDataArchiv funded by the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg, is the installation and deployment of the High Performance Storage System (HPSS). The result is a reliable yet economical mass storage system with interfaces for users and programmed tools. First users will be HLRS to store expedited projects, the LSDF counterpart in Heidelberg and the GridKa LHC Tier1 center.

The project will also enhance existing services and contribute technology with the development of a generic and open interface to mass storage based on current practice and applications.
