Near-Term Hardware Deployment

• Validation, Verification, and Performance Testing Depot
  • We will deploy 20 of the Capricorn Depots in a single system that can be used for validation, verification, and performance testing.
  • This system will be for developers use only, and it can be taken down at any time. Software can be updated at any time.
  • Nightly, the L-Store development release code will be built, installed, and tested with Clyde. This may take a few months to get going smoothly.
• User System
  • The remainder of the systems (20) will be deployed as a user facility.
