Global Science Network Forum: Side Meeting
- Eli Dart (ESnet / LBNL)
- Enzo Capone (GÉANT)
Description
The Global Science Network Forum returns at TCN26 with a workshop on the challenges and the impact of the storage on networks and scientific collaborations. While networks have their own direct technological drivers (e.g. router interface speeds, ASIC performance and capabilities, optical system performance and capabilities), there are additional elements in the broader scientific ecosystem that determine the utility of NRENs in scientific workflows.
This session will explore the impact of storage system performance and costs on NRENs from several perspectives and will include a discussion of the broader implications of the information presented, and a call to action for NRENs to gather and analyze information from their constituents.
