As ATLAS Database Project reorganized on 2006/05/22 - a high-profile Database Deployment and Operations activity is now defined.

General Information

Support for deployed database and data management services at CERN and around the world. Covers the design, integration and deployment of the distributed database infrastructure, support and/or liaison for administration and operations for databases away from CERN, and liaison to CERN IT/DB for CERN-based ATLAS database services.
Also involves support for special needs, e.g. services for test beams, large scalability tests, etc.

Contacts, responsibles
Alexandre Vaniachine provides support for central services at CERN, and coordination of services elsewhere.

Status, priorities, timescales
Many services, both MySQL and Oracle, at a number of sites, are used for the many database applications of ATLAS (file catalog, job metadata, production catalog, conditions data, geometry data, tag collector, etc.)

The area priority is a timely ramping up of distributed database services in support of commissioning and operations start-up.
