The Canadian Belle II Tier1 Raw Data Centre
We present our innovative design to hosting Canada’s share of the Belle II raw data and the necessary computing infrastructure for its processing. Our approach involves disk-only grid storage solution that utilizes XRootD and ZFS, complemented by a compute framework that deploys specialized virtual machines to process the raw data. We discuss the advantages of our approach as well as the challenges encountered during deployment and commissioning.
