We present our innovative design to hosting Canada’s share of the Belle II raw data and the necessary computing infrastructure for its processing. Our approach involves disk-only grid storage solution that utilizes XRootD and ZFS, complemented by a compute framework that deploys specialized virtual machines to process the raw data. We discuss the advantages of our approach as well as the challenges encountered during deployment and commissioning.
