D4Science-II Service activities

The objective of the D4Science-II Service Activities (SAs) is to deploy and ensure the correct, continuous and effective operation of the resources shared through the D4Science-II ecosystem while enabling their exploitation by the user communities.

The Service Activities are planned and organised into three work packages:

  • SA1 – Knowledge Ecosystem Operation — coordinates the operation of the infrastructure ensuring continuous and reliable availability. It operates the underline computing infrastructure and makes sure that its resources are properly maintained. This activity also operates the VOs and VREs administration portal used by SA2, deploys the required monitoring tools and maintains the infrastructure software repository.
  • SA2 – VOs and VREs Definition and Operation — operates the VOs and VREs serving the targeted user communities, adapting to the evolution of their requirements. At this purpose, this activity is charged to manage VO users and resources, as well to deploy, configure and maintain VRE services. In addition, it provides assistance to other user communities for VO and VREs administration to access, use and exploit the shared resources.
  • SA3 – Software Integration, Testing and Distribution — releases reliable and usable software developed by JRA and exploited through the VREs. It coordinates and implement the process of integrating, testing and distributing documented software releases.
