Castor status
• The current version of Castor is able to sustain the dataflow from the experiments– Data migration to tapes– Data replication to Tier 1s
• A new consolidated version (2.1.7) is released– Several bug fixes– Better logging

Areas of improvement
• Castor Security– Partially implemented since 2.1.6, complete
implementation in progress– Deployment expected 2nd half 2008
• Tape area– Avoid interferences between end-user file
requests (recall of data from tape) and the main experiment data streams and replications• Tape requests will be prioritized
– Tape prioritization will guarantee production• it may have a performance impact on the end-users
wishing to recall files for analysis

Impact on future analysis
• We are thinking of possible architectures to ease future data analysis– avoid on-demand file recalls, concept of
“datasets”, recent data always on disk– client protocol status and evolution– impact of strong authentication on scalability– Accessibility of internal performance counters
• An architecture working group is working on these questions– Some proposals are expected before this
summer– See D. Duellmann presentation at Hepix this
