LHCC Referees’ meeting; CERN, 11th June 2013
March 6, 2013
Main points• Several countries stated that the goal of aiming to fit within
constant budgets would be appreciated- But concern that equipment renewal must fit within this as well as
capacity expansion• Misunderstanding of current situation?
• Some discussion on desirability of seeking funding asap to retain key personnel in various countries as EC funds come to an end- Problem is that H2020 unlikely to provide funds before at least 1
year (likely 18 months) from now
• Chair of RSG will work together with MB to try and improve the requirement/scrutiny/pledge process prior to October RRB – to reflect experience and adapt better to budget and procurement timescales

CERN@Wigner• CPU & disk servers installed
- Currently: ~5000 cores; ~few PB disk
• All fully tested• Will be put in production as part of the Agile
Infrastructure- Managed by Openstack as part of lxbatch
(SLC6 deployment is being done this way)- With new release of Openstack
• WAN connections (2x100 Gb/s) in production since February
March 6, 2013
EMI and EGI-Inspire ended• CERN groups – integrated into a new team
- Brings together ES and GT- Involved in: EUDAT, iMarine, CRISP, HelixNebula- Group size will decrease by 50% over one year
• Sections- Operations and Liaison- Monitoring Infrastructure - Information and Data
• Programme of work set (partly) in conjunction with experiments- Try and keep some level of flexibility to address priorities
March 6, 2013
Long term thinking• Vision paper for discussion with EC and
EIROforum • User Forum paper – guide the direction of future
infrastructures by the science communities• Data preservation – see Jamie’s talk• Research Data Alliance• Software investment – optimise how we use
CPUs/storage/networks
• None of this is HEP-specific!

Managed services – operated for research communities
Individual science community operated services
Key principles:• Governed & driven by science/research communities• Business model: Operations should be self-sustaining:
- Managed services are paid by use (e.g. Cloud services, data archive services, …)- Community services operated by the community at their own cost using their own
resources (e.g. grids, citizen cyberscience)
• Software support – open source, funded by collaborating developer institutions
