CASTOR — CERN Advanced STORage manager

The CASTOR project site.

What it anchors

  • CASTOR managed the archival storage of physics data during Runs 1 and 2 of the LHC.
  • It was succeeded by CTA, which is described as its evolution; the migration of ATLAS data — 83 PB — marked CTA’s entry into production.
