Three-Year Outlook: More Volume, More Complexity • New VLT/VLTI Instruments • SINFONI, VISIR, CRIRES, Hawk-I (?) • MIDI, AMBER • Question: how many VLTI nights (UT+AT)? • VST/WCam • 15 Tbyte/year - unprocessed! • Cluster storage & computing • VISTA (?) • New staff? Better efficiency? • New, cross-instrument software system WCam + wCen
