Outline

• GridPP3 Goals for MSN
• Software for exploitation
• Areas
• Data Management
• Storage
• WMS, Portal, R-T Map
• InfoMon
• Security
• Networking

MSN Goals

• GridPP1 ? Prototype ? testbeds prototype code
• GridPP2 ? Production ? develop deploy
• GridPP3 ? Exploitation ? support maintain
• Important
• interoperability with peer grids
• gradual transition to common standards
• and fix the holes !
• Criteria
• mission critical
• support UK products our contribution to the
  wider picture
• where leverage is high

Data Management

• Critical to effective work on LCG
• LFC, FTS,
• Unsolved issues
• e.g. replication management
• Bespoke solutions (4 times over !)
• Chaotic analysis
• aint seennothing yet
• Development
• but important !

6
Storage

• Maturity
• DPM, dCache, CASTOR
• Responsible for SRM2 interface to CASTOR
• Responsible other utilities (scripts),
  monitoring, accounting
• Drive Storage Group
• Reduce diversity over time

7
WMS

• Accumulating performance data
• Regarded as important by EGEE
• Growth area inchasing jobefficiency

8
Portal / R-T Map

• Portal
• Essential for small experiments
• R-T Map
• widespreaduse
• this is reality

9
InfoMon

• R-GMA, Service Discovery, GLUE Schema
• Support for all EGEE/LCG not just UK
• GridViewAPEL
• CMS, ATLAS (?)
• DILIGENT,GridCC,

10
Security

• Operational Security
• The UK VOMS Service
• GridSite
• website ? e.g. GridPP, GOC, Grid-Ireland
• GACL ? e.g WMProxy, Logging Bookkeeping
• mod_gridsite ? e.g parsing VOMS attributes,
• Vulnerabilities
• analysis, tracking, resolution, disclosure,
• Policy
• certificates, AUP,

11
Networking

• Monitoring
• understand operations know whats going on
• underpinning
• Communicating HEPRequirements
