This report assesses the proposed implementation of a Scientific Data Management system that could be co-developed by LLNL and SNL and installed at each lab. In the current view, the systems would not be connected to each other. This report examines the different collaboration possibilities and status of planning and implementation of the teams at LLNL and SNL. The report uses identified requirements from previous work that has been done and documented in [1]. In that work, a set of simulation data management requirements was developed during a series of meetings, starting from requirements developed by Sandia Laboratory. These requirements are expected to evolve, and it is recommended that these requirements be revisited and updated for the following reasons: 1- Advancement in the computing hardware and software which leads to more processing power and better data movement speeds. 2- Advancement in computer algorithms which creates opportunities for better data management and analysis. 3- The need to expand and add to the capabilities of the SDM tools due to advancement in the applications software and due to new requirements by the scientific community. This report builds upon the experience from the work that has been done by some of the team members and the current SDM development efforts at LLNL and Sandia.
