    • This is basically a “federated dCache” with central services hosted at DESY.
    • Multiple scenarios are foreseen:
      • Task Area 1/2: integration of semi-permanent sites
      • Task Area 3: integration of opportunistic sites
      • Task Areas 4: monitoring and self-healing
         
  • WP2: "Caching Services and Cloud Storage Integration"
    • Task Area 1: Orchestration, monitoring and feature evaluation of the XCache proxy server

    • Task Area 2: S3 Frontend for POSIX-compliant storage
