<!-- NGI International Tasks Review --> | <!-- NGI International Tasks Review --> | ||
| Marketing_Assessment = | | Marketing_Assessment = UK hosting EGI CF 2013, lots of national engagement involved. The website has been updated. News is sparse in many areas. | ||
| Marketing_Score = | | Marketing_Score = 3 (regular activities), 4(including EGI CF) | ||
| Marketing_HowToImprove = | | Marketing_HowToImprove = More commercial partnering. Increased engagement with higher profile projects | ||
| Marketing_AfterEGI-InSPIRE = | | Marketing_AfterEGI-InSPIRE = Will continue nationally post InSPPIRE | ||
| NGIInternationalLiaison_Assessment = | | NGIInternationalLiaison_Assessment = The UK is very active in NIL work and has participated in 14 of 21 Virtual Teams to date including 8 of the 9 active VTs. The UK has been successful in encouraging non-EGI participation in VTs (10 experts involved in 7 VTs), broadening the reach of EGI into new communities. Nationally there is steady engagement with new communities - including joint funding proposals/applications. | ||
| NGIInternationalLiaison_Score = | | NGIInternationalLiaison_Score = 5 | ||
| NGIInternationalLiaison_HowToImprove = | | NGIInternationalLiaison_HowToImprove = continue engagement with new communities, consider outreach event subject to funding availability | ||
| NGIInternationalLiaison_AfterEGI-InSPIRE = | | NGIInternationalLiaison_AfterEGI-InSPIRE = Will be driven by national priorities and funding opportunities | ||
| DistributedCompetencyCentre_Assessment = | | DistributedCompetencyCentre_Assessment = Active sharing of knowledge with new VOs and communities. Good involvement at regional levels | ||
| DistributedCompetencyCentre_Score = | | DistributedCompetencyCentre_Score = 3 | ||
| DistributedCompetencyCentre_HowToImprove = | | DistributedCompetencyCentre_HowToImprove = Improve knowledge/visibility of the UK NGI offerings. Undertake some exemplar projects (nb. this is in the GridPP KE and Impact plan) | ||
| DistributedCompetencyCentre_AfterEGI-InSPIRE = | | DistributedCompetencyCentre_AfterEGI-InSPIRE = Management not dependent on EGI-InSPIRE. | ||
| NGIActivityManagement_Assessment = | | NGIActivityManagement_Assessment = Internal management has been solid with regular (weekly and monthly) NGI and sub-project meetings; OMB participation good | ||
| NGIActivityManagement_Score = | | NGIActivityManagement_Score = 4 | ||
| NGIActivityManagement_HowToImprove = | | NGIActivityManagement_HowToImprove = Ensure coverage when management away. | ||
| NGIActivityManagement_AfterEGI-InSPIRE = | | NGIActivityManagement_AfterEGI-InSPIRE = | ||
| ASecureInfrastructure_Assessment = | | ASecureInfrastructure_Assessment = Active in all areas of security both nationally and international (OSVG and OSCT). Established UK security team who meet bi-weekly. Regular security reviews and training. | ||
| ASecureInfrastructure_Score = | | ASecureInfrastructure_Score = 4 | ||
| ASecureInfrastructure_HowToImprove = | | ASecureInfrastructure_HowToImprove = More training and awareness building beyond the core security team. | ||
| ASecureInfrastructure_AfterEGI-InSPIRE = | | ASecureInfrastructure_AfterEGI-InSPIRE = Nationally effort will remain good until at least 2015. | ||
| ServiceDeployment _Assessment = | | ServiceDeployment _Assessment = UK participated significantly in Staged Rollout. This works but majority of sites use EMI not UMD due to slowness of latter in updating. Bugs are found in SR that are not addressed and these impact our smaller VOs. EMI-2 rollout has gone well with minimal disruption. NGI developed a VOMS configuration tool to improve reliability of new VO enablement. | ||
| ServiceDeployment_Score = | | ServiceDeployment_Score = 3 | ||
| ServiceDeployment_HowToImprove = | | ServiceDeployment_HowToImprove = Faster rollout. | ||
| ServiceDeployment_AfterEGI-InSPIRE = | | ServiceDeployment_AfterEGI-InSPIRE = This activity will need a body to coordinate it in the longer term. | ||
| InfrastructureforGridManagement_Assessment = | | InfrastructureforGridManagement_Assessment = NGI has been active in feeding back issues and quickly implementing new versions. Nagios probes and Paikiti actively used and stable. Management for smaller VOs has been slow to arrive. Still some problems with information reporting. Needed tools coming from WLCG (such as network monitoring) | ||
| InfrastructureforGridManagement_Score = | | InfrastructureforGridManagement_Score = 3 | ||
| InfrastructureforGridManagement_HowToImprove = | | InfrastructureforGridManagement_HowToImprove = More timely updates. Consolidation. | ||
| nfrastructureforGridManagement_AfterEGI-InSPIRE = | | nfrastructureforGridManagement_AfterEGI-InSPIRE = Deployment will be fine but development might be an issue. | ||
| Accounting_Assessment = | | Accounting_Assessment = Accounting service runs reliably. Occasional issues with data uploads requiring retries. Some discrepancies with VO accounting. UK ensured all sites continued to publish UserDNs. | ||
| Accounting_Score = | | Accounting_Score = 4 | ||
| Accounting_HowToImprove = | | Accounting_HowToImprove = More cross-checking with VO accounting DBs to resolve discrepancies | ||
| Accounting_AfterEGI-InSPIRE = | | Accounting_AfterEGI-InSPIRE = Checking accounting will be part of normal work. | ||

| HelpdeskInfrastructure_Score = | | HelpdeskInfrastructure_Score = 4 | ||
| HelpdeskInfrastructure_HowToImprove = | | HelpdeskInfrastructure_HowToImprove = More informative assignments and separation of immediate operations problems and long-term requests. | ||
| HelpdeskInfrastructure_AfterEGI-InSPIRE = | | HelpdeskInfrastructure_AfterEGI-InSPIRE = Impact if GGUS funding reduced. | ||
| SupportTeams_Assessment = | | SupportTeams_Assessment = National support teams effective. Issues mainly in non-action elsewhere. | ||
