\subsubsection{CINECA extension}
Thanks to an agreement between INFN and CINECA\cite{ref:cineca}, we were able to integrate a portion (3 racks for a total of 216 servers providing $\sim$180 kHS06) of the Marconi cluster into our computing farm, reaching the total computing power of 400 kHS06, almost doubling the power we provided last year. Each server is equipped with a 10 Gbit uplink connection to the rack switch while each of them, in turn, is connected to the aggregation router with 4x40 Gbit links.

Due to the proximity of CINECA, we set up a highly reliable fiber connection between the computing centers, with a very low latency
