How To Join As A Resource Provider

From EGIWiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

As of August 2016, the European Grid Infrastructure (EGI) connects more than X resource centres to X users across Europe and beyond. EGI is always looking to expand the number of providers and invites unaffiliated resource centres to join in. If you are the representative of a resource centre or a cluster interested in joining the infrastructure, we invite you to go through the following steps:

  • CASE 1: your country is already part of EGI
    • Please contact the resource provider in your country and they will assist you in the process (see the requirements at the bottom of the page).

  • CASE 2: your country is not on the list of EGI resource providers https://www.egi.eu/federation/data-centres/
    • If you are a representative from a resource centre / site / cluster, being part of EGI is still possible. Please send an e-mail to the EGI.eu Operations team (operations AT egi.eu) which can help you to become part of the infrastructure, and will assist you through the different steps, from resource centre registration to certification (see the requirements at the bottom of the page)
    • If you are a representative from a National Grid Initiative or other Resource Infrastructure Provider, please send an e-mail to the EGI.eu Operations team (operations AT egi.eu) which will assist you during the integration process. Please note that new resource infrastructure providers must first be accredited by the EGI Council. To do so non-European resource infrastructure providers can start a formal collaboration with EGI.eu through a Memorandum of Understanding.

General requirements

For being part of the EGI infrastructure, a resource centre will have to comply with a series of operational and security requirements by signing an Operational Level Agreement (OLA), a document that defines the minimum set of operational services and the respective quality parameters that a Resource Centre is required to provide in EGI, and accepting the the Grid Security Policy, the Grid Resource Centre Operations Policy, the Resource Centre Registration Security Policy and in general all the EGI security policies.
