DESCRIPTION:LOFAR\, the LOw Frequency Array\, is a continent-scale radio te
 lescope\, based in the Netherlands and with stations across much of Europe
 . In operation now for more than a decade\, LOFAR has an enviable track re
 cord of delivering fundamental scientific results across multitude of area
 s including lightning\, exoplanets\, solar\, extragalactic\, cosmic rays\,
  ionosphere\, pulsar & transients\, and galaxies. ASTRON and its partners 
 in the International LOFAR Telescope collaboration are now in the midst of
  upgrading the system to produce LOFAR2.0\, an even more capable and flexi
 ble instrument that promises to continue this record for many years to com
 e.\n\nModern radio interferometers like LOFAR are extremely data intensive
 : the LOFAR Long Term Archive currently has around 60 PB under management\
 , increasing at about 10 PB per year. The new LOFAR2.0 system is projected
  to be more than twice as data-intensive as the current one. Furthermore\,
  we increasingly recognize that simply archiving instrumental data is no l
 onger adequate: to fully realize the potential of this remarkable instrume
 nt\, we need to provide a range of science-ready data products together wi
 th a compelling portfolio of data discovery tools as well as systems for b
 atch processing and interactive data analysis.\n\nIn this talk\, we will d
 escribe the system that has been developed over the last decade in support
  of LOFAR operations\, highlighting recent major progress in the capabilit
 ies of our pipelines for bulk calibration and imaging of interferometric d
 ata. We will then describe our plans for modernizing and upgrading the sys
 tem to ensure that we are ready to meet the needs of the community in the 
 LOFAR2.0 era and beyond.
