Service name: Order Management human support

Introduction

EGI has established an SLA framework to facilitate the allocation of services and resources to user communities in order to fulfill the specific needs of an experiment, project or community or practice.

The SLA framework creates trust agreements between Customers and Providers, specifies responsibilities, and the communication channels to provide feedback, support about the received/offered services. EGI SLAs are NOT legal contracts, but an agreement on intentions to collaborate and support a specific Customer group research activity.

Technical description

First level support is responsible for service-order tickets triage and assignment. Ticket triage must be regularly and continuously provided during business days.

The first-level assigner is responsible for initial analysis of the incoming ticket, requesting additional information from the submitter, and assigning the ticket to 2nd level support.

The second-level assigner is responsible to:

  • Establish one-to-one interactions between the Customer and the different service providers of the federation.
  • Initiate interactions with the service providers and collect expression of interest.
  • Create Operational Level Agreements (OLAs) with the service providers interested to support the Customer.
  • Finalize a single Service Level Agreement (SLA) with the Customer.
  • Establish and maintain good relationships with the Customer and the service providers of the federation.
  • Monitor the service delivery offered to the Customer.

The support will be provided for service orders requesting access to: cloud, HTC and storage resources.
