NGAS: Future Plans
(Near) Future Plans for NGAS:
Received detailed requirements from archive operations.
Enhance NGAS WEB Management Interfaces.
Enhancement of services for operation in cluster (extended proxy mode).
Enhancement of installation utilities.
Enhancement of unit tests (simulation of archive cluster operation).
Implement load balancing/archive cluster operation for high availability/high
data rates (VST/ΩCam: up to 300 GB/night, VISTA/VistaCAM up to 1
TB/night - TBC).
Support for advanced data processing, utilizing an NGAS Cluster as a parallel
processing engine (specify complex recipes, which are executing parallel data
processing) – will be analyzed in the near future.
Support for the Astrophysical Virtual Observatory/GRID?
