Query: Challenging the challenge: handling data in the Gigabit/s range   The ALICE experiment at CERN will propose unprecedented requirements for
event building and data recording. New technologies will be adopted as well as
ad-hoc frameworks, from the acquisition of experimental data up to the transfer
onto permanent media and its later access. These issues justify a careful,
in-depth planning and preparation. The ALICE Data Challenge is a very important
step of this development process where simulated detector data is moved from
dummy data sources up to the recording media using processing elements and
data-paths as realistic as possible. We will review herein the current status
of past, present and future ALICE Data Challenges, with particular reference to
the sessions held in 2002 when - for the first time - streams worth one week of
ALICE data were recorded onto tape media at sustained rates exceeding 300 MB/s.
