Abstract

With over ten years in production use dCache data storage system has evolved to match ever changing lansdcape of continually evolving storage technologies with new solutions to both existing problems and new challenges. In this paper, we present three areas of innovation in dCache: providing efficient access to data with NFS v4.1 pNFS, adoption of CDMI and WebDAV as an alternative to SRM for managing data, and integration with alternative authentication mechanisms.
