SRB and UK e-science L. Blanshard, R. Downing, G. Drinkwater, D. Hanlon, K. Kleese van Dam, L. Roberts, R. Tyer CCLRC e-science Daresbury Lab P. Berrisford, G. Brown, K. Haines, C. Moreton-Smith, A. Hasan CCLRC e-science Rutherford Lab UK e-science Tasked with providing IT infrastructure and tools to allow UK scientist opportunity to maximally exploit data. Data Management Group essential in this effort. SRB provides underlying management of data for practically all data management systems. e-minerals/e-materials GSI-enabled mini-grid for Earth scientists and Chemists. Primarily simulations on Condor pool and PBS clusters. SRB holds simulated data, logical names meaningful to scientists. CCLRC-developed data portal used to locate data and submit jobs. e-minerals/e-materials e-minerals/e-materials Deployed late 2003. Recently successfully migrate from SRB 3.2 to 3.3.1. Stored more than 200,000 files. Total of more than 160GBs data. ISIS and Diamond ISIS - neutron and muon facility at Rutherford Lab. Used by Physicists, Geologists, Biologists, engineers. Data stored on NT disk farm, backed up to RAL tape store. SRB used to archive data to tape store. More than 5600 files in 700 containers stored. Currently testing 3.4, stored more than 2TB in test system. ISIS and Diamond Diamond - a synchrotron light source at RAL. Used by scientists from many fields. Expected online in 2007. Planning to use SRB to manage data from data acquisition through to data archival. Expect approx 1TB/day recorded by experiments. Mainly small files. Anticipate federation with ISIS data. ISIS and Diamond NGS and IB National Grid Service (NGS): In production since 2004. Provides computing and storage for many UK activities. Uses GSI-enabled SRB for data management. More than 800,000 files stored in SRB amounting to 800GB of data. NGS and IB Integrative Biology (IB) project: IT infrastructure to model biological processes. Requires access controlled secure data management. Uses NGS GSI-enabled
