Facilities & Services
The Facilities and Services team of the Computing and Offline group coordinates support of computing facilities and services for the experiment/collaboaration. The facilities are organized in a tiered structure. A tier consists of computer centers anywhere in the world, each providing computing and storage to the CMS computing grid. In addition to computing and storage CMS specific services are needed to process and analyse the data. Most services have a distributed architecture with the lowest layer/core/master service running at CERN.

We are Organized
The team consists of two groups, the Central Services group and the Site Support group. The Central Services group manages the VM/VO-box infrastructure at CERN, the CVMFS service, DBfrontier/squid service, and coordinates central services using the VO-box infrastructure. The Site Support team coordinates use of the various grid sites, ensures that sites are operational, and manages the monitoring infrastructure.
