CERN Tape Archive Workshop : CTA 2024

Abstract

Antares is the tape archive service at RAL that manages both Tier-1 and local Facilities data. In this talk, we present the main developments in the service since last year’s CTA workshop including the migration of CASTOR Facilities instance and discuss the service’s performance as well as the main operational issues since the beginning of LHC Run-3. Finally, we provide an overview of the future plans for the expansion of the service to cover additional use cases from physics (CLF) and astronomy (SKA)
