		Opportunistic Storage Increases Grid Job Success Rate The DZero experiment has become the first successful user of opportunistic storage on OSG and opens the door for other OSG VOs.
		Simulating Starry Images-Preparing for the Dark Energy Survey To better understand dark energy and its implications, scientists will conduct the Dark Energy Survey beginning in 2012.
		Friendly but fierce competition for the Higgs Amidst friendly rivalry, the Higgs’ search provides motivation for competing teams - Fermilab's CDF and D0 - to combine their analyses.

"OSG is the ideal workhorse for our calculations. We've run 60,000 jobs since last January, an order of magnitude beyond what has otherwise been possible. We're very grateful for the opportunity to use OSG."

Berkeley Storage Manager

(BeStMan) is an implementation of SRM v2.2 for both small, disk-based storage and mass storage systems. End users may have their own personal BeStMan application that provides an SRM interface to their local disks. BeStMan works on top of existing disk-based Unix file systems and has been reported to work on the file systems such as NFS, GPFS, PVFS, GFS, NGFS, HFS+, Lustre, Hadoop and XrootdFS. Minimal administrative work on deployment and updates is required. Learn more.
