Background information on EGI


Area 1: Operations

  • EGI: Tiziana Ferrari, Malgorzata Krakowian
  • XSEDE: Victor Hazlewood

Goals:

  1. Organisational benchmarking - compare operational processes and services – so we can identify the good practices and learn these from each other
  2. Helpdesk and ticket procedures (e.g. Escalation processes)
  3. Resource monitoring
  4. Use the multi-infrastructure use cases to decide what should be changed in the infrastructures and on which side (Compchem and WeNMR)
  5. Integration of helpdesk and accounting to support communities that in the future will jointly use XSEDE and involve OSG for those communities like wenmr that will also consume OSG resources


Materials:

The EGI Helpdesk is GGUS: https://ggus.eu/pages/home.php
Authentication of users is based on X.509 certificates. All users with a valid certificate released by a IGTF CA can have read access to all tickets.
The report generator is the system we are using to collect statistics about usage, distribution of tickets, time to respond and solve tickets etc. https://ggus.eu/report/report_view.php
Plenty of documentation is available on-line: https://ggus.eu/pages/docu.php
