Data Storage, Management and Access Evolution: a Glimpse into the Future
- Xavier Espinal (CERN)
Description
Storage is one of the main challenges for the next decade in Scientific Computing. Evolving the current data management and access models is fundamental to keep providing the required infrastructures for the future scientific community needs.
The “storage challenge” is multi-dimensional and computing facilities are envisioning a change of scale in data growth and data access that are forcing us to re-evaluate the current deployment and models.
Most of the nowadays hot topics are common to all of us and they are the constituent parts of this presentation: data redundancy costs, bandwidth and networking optimisation, data federations and data caching, catering with application access patterns (from high throughput to high I/O), distributed file systems, future of backup technologies (tape market on the spotlight), possible roles of IaaS (cloud), evolution of Auth/Authz.
