PIC-Barcelona Site Capacity Growth Plans 2007/2008

CPU: -We have currently a CPU purchase ongoing which we plan to be able to deploy in production by mid-Jan-2008. We estimate it will allow us to have a total CPU power of at least 1000 ksi2k.

-Then there will be a second purchase during Q1-2008 that will ramp up our capacity up to the level of the MoU-2008: 1509 ksi2k on 1st April 2008.

DISK: -We have currently Disk purchases ongoing which we plan to be able to deploy in production also by mid-January-2008. We estimate it will ramp our current total disk capacity up to at least 560TB total space available.

-For the final ramp-up to reach the 967TB total disk space by 1st April 2008 we still can not give more details. Most probably by the second half of November, at the light of current tender results, we will be able to give some more detailed planning information.

TAPE: -We currently have about 320TB reserved for LHC. -We are launching an LTO3 cartridges purchase in the next week which will allow us to ramp up our available tape capacity up to a total of about 600TB before the end of the year.
