EGI-InSPIRE:WP4 Operations

This activity coordinates a secure, reliable European-wide production grid infrastructure federated from national grid initiatives that is integrated and interoperates with other grids worldwide. Technical activities include:

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