Snowmass 2013 Computing Frontier Storage and Data Management

Abstract

The data storage and data management needs are summarized for the energy frontier, intensity frontier, cosmic frontier, lattice field theory, perturbative QCD and accelerator science. The outlook for data storage technologies and costs is then outlined, followed by a summary of the current state of data, software and physics analysis capability preservation. The HEP outlook is summarized, pointing out where future data volumes may strain against what is technologically and financially feasible. Finally recommendations for areas of particular attention and action are made.
