EGI-InSPIRE:WP4 Operations

This activity will coordinate a secure, reliable European-wide production grid infrastructure federated from national grid initiatives that is integrated and interoperates with other grids worldwide. It will:

• Maintain a secure infrastructure through the establishment of the necessary operational security teams
• Validate new releases of the middleware and operational tools through a coordinated staged roll-out to sites
• Establish the monitoring services needed to manage the production grid infrastructure
• Provide a central accounting database and portal where aggregated use of the infrastructure is recorded
• Provide the EGI Helpdesk infrastructure, integrated with national instances, to coordinate activity between the different support teams.
• Establish the necessary support teams within the infrastructure that once integrated with the EGI Helpdesk will respond to user and site support issues
• Provide a reliable and consistent production grid infrastructure through the establishment and monitoring of SLAs, documentation and the provision of core grid services.
