SUMMARY:The Met Office Cold Storage Future: Tape or Cloud?
DESCRIPTION:Minisymposium\nComputer Science and Applied Mathematics, Clima
 te and Weather, Physics\n\nThe Met Office Cold Storage Future: Tape or Clo
 ud?\n\nLawrence\n\nThe Met Office hosts one of the largest environmental s
 cience archives in the world using tape as the primary storage mechanism. 
 The archive has over 275 petabytes of data stored today and a growth that 
 is expected to exceed 5 exabytes during the next decade. When combined wit
 h data ingress and egress rates that exceed 200 terabytes a day each, the 
 Met Office needs to ensure that the archive does not become the bottleneck
  to the production of our operational Weather forecasts and research needs
 . We will examine the current archive system, look at its current pain poi
 nts and how the Met Office expects the needs of the archive to change in t
 he short term. We then outline the UK government principle of ‘
 cloud first’ for digital designs and see if this can be applied to l
 arge scale Science IT. The talk will then progress onto how our current ap
 proach measures up to public cloud offerings looking at the capability, ri
 sk, benefits and costs of a cloud based archive.
