    Storage Specialist Job in Geneva , Switzerland

    At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. They use the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments to study the basic constituents of matter, the fundamental particles. The particles are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives the physicists clues about how the particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature.

    Storage Specialist Job Description

    Introduction

    The CERN IT Storage Group (ST) is responsible to enable data access for the laboratory, most notably to archive, preserve over the long term and distribute to the worldwide scientific community the LHC experimental data. This is presently implemented mainly with a disk/tape hybrid system (CASTOR: cern.ch/castor optimised for archiving), the large disk farms (EOS: cern.ch/eos for data analysis) and user-oriented systems (Linux home directory: AFS; cloud storage: CERNBOX). In total ST handles more than 200 petabyte of data across about 2,000 data servers (30,000 disks) and 20,000 high-capacity tapes.

    The present data infrastructure is being evolved to extend its functionality and rationalise its deployment. New access protocols (POSIX file access, WebDAV) have been added to simplify data access for our clients (Linux, Mac and Windows), to increase the user experience (disconnected operations, cloud synchronisation, flexible web access) and to enable new way to process data combining local access, batch processing and web-based data systems. The next phase is the migration in the new infrastructure (including the AFS phase out for Linux users and absorbing some of the DFS usage of Windows users).

    More information on the Department is at: http://information-technology.web.cern.ch/about .

    Functions

    The primary focus of the activity will be to bring in production a uniform multi-platform data access for the AFS replacement project. The selected candidate will join the operation and support activities of the Filesystems and Data Operations (FDO) section.

    As a technical engineer, you will:
     

    • Contribute to the validation and testing of the new system.
    • Prepare the roll out of the new system and support it the massive adoption phase, mainly from AFS and to a certain extent from DFS.
    • Contribute to the development of the tools and procedures to facilitate the migration into the new system.
    • Install, operate and support the software components of the FDO services, as well as participate to the on-call duty (support and incident response).
    • Maintain/improve system documentation (procedures; regular reports; incident analysis; user documentation) together with other members of the FDO section.
    Eligibility conditions

    Employing a diverse and international workforce is a CERN core value and central to our success. We welcome applications from all Member States irrespective of gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, race, religion or personal situation.

    Note on Employment Conditions
