SweStore - The Swedish Storage Initiaitve

Due to advancements in scientific areas such as high energy physics (the Large Hadron Collider at CERN), climate modelling, bioinformatics, materials data bases etc., the demands for storage of data and data mining will increase dramatically during coming years. In parallel to these increasing demands, the technology for storage solutions is developing, even more rapidly than processor technology. In order for the Swedish HPC community to make the right strategic choice of storage solutions it is important to have a good overview of both needs and technology developments in this area
