Scientific paper

The MAGIC I telescope produces currently around 100TByte of raw data per year that is calibrated and reduced on-site at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos (La Palma). Since February 2007 most of the data have been stored and further processed in the Port d'Informacio Cientifica (PIC), Barcelona. This facility, which supports the GRID Tier 1 center for LHC in Spain, provides resources to give the entire MAGIC Collaboration access to the reduced telescope data. It is expected that the data volume will increase by a factor 3 after the start-up of the second telescope, MAGIC II. The project to improve the MAGIC Data Center to meet these requirements is presented. In addition, we discuss the production of high level data products that will allow a more flexible analysis and will contribute to the international network of astronomical data (European Virtual Observatory). For this purpose, we will have to develop a new software able to adapt the analysis process to different data taking conditions, such as different trigger configurations or mono/stereo telescope observations.
