dCache and SRM

SAPAC provides dCache and SRM service to CSSM and other ILDG groups. Basically data of all ensembles is stored in a tape silo and dCache acts as a cache of the tape device and provides interface to users to download the data. At the current stage, users can download data via HTTP, GridFTP and SRM.

The details are under development.
