Figure \ref{current} gives a very high level view of how experiments transfer
files to and from tape today using CASTOR. CASTOR and EOS are used by the
experiments as separate Grid storage elements. Experiments store the files
they work on and modify into EOS and they store the files they need archived to
tape into CASTOR. Files can also be transferred directly between EOS and
CASTOR without having to go via an experiment.

The milestones for the CTA project are as follows. In the second quarter of
2017 an internal release of CTA will be made that does not have the ability to
repack tape media. This release is intended for redundant use cases within the
IT Storage group such as additional backups of filer data (AFS/NFS) and
additional copies of data from the Large Electron Position collider (LEP). In
the second quarter of 2018 the first production release of CTA will be made.
This release will have the ability to repack tape media and is intended to
migrate small virtual organizations such as non-LHC experiments from CASTOR to
