EGEE activities in Greece • SA 1: GRID Operations, Support and Management • NA 3: User Training and Induction • NA 5: Policy and International Cooperation Athens, 27 -28 th May - 6

Our collective aim • SA 1: build expertise and operational procedures that will allow Greece to: • Integrate into European production-level infrastructure • Operate a self-standing coherent Grid infrastructure • Create teams of core experts for the future • NA 3: train and inform users, operators, etc. • NA 5: contribute to whitepapers, standards etc on the international stage • If we do this, EGEE-2 will follow! Athens, 27 -28 th May - 7

SA 1 objectives in Greece: detail • Pre-production infrastructure: smaller sites with next generation m/w • 8/5 support, crucial as real-life testbeds, for m/w and application testing • Production infrastructure: only stable clusters with significant resources can be admitted to the EGEE production infrastructure • • • 24/7 operation, supported by RC, ROC and CICs Run a Regional Operations Centre One in each federation Provide front-line support to users and resource centers Support new resource centers joining EGEE in the regions Support deployment and operations in the resource centers • Key specific ROC services: security, helpdesk/TT, portal, monitoring, m/w certification, installation procedures, core Grid services, etc. Athens, 27 -28 th May - 8

NA 3 objectives: overall and GR • Train the GRID community and wider user community • Establish a training center in each region • 5 regions Athens, 27 -28 th May - 9

NA 5 • General GRID and specific technical whitepapers • Aegean & AUEB 2 Athens, 27 -28 th May - 10

Pre-production service • Smaller sites • New generation m/w (EGGE-1 or LCG-2) comming soon (15 Jun 2004 ? ? ) • Crucial for testing and experimentation • Activities similar to those for production service Athens, 27 -28 th May - 11

SA 1 objectives: detail • Core infrastructure services: • Operate essential grid services • Grid monitoring and control: • • Proactively monitor the operational state and performance, Initiate corrective action • Middleware deployment and resource induction: • • Validate and deploy middleware releases Set up operational procedures for new resources • Resource provider and user support: • • Coordinate the resolution of problems from both Resource Centres and users Filter and aggregate problems, providing or obtaining solutions • Grid management: • • Coordinate ROCs and CICs Manage the relationships with resource providers via service-level agreements. Athens, 27 -28 th May - 12

Operations centers: hierarchy Athens, 27 -28 th May - 13

M/W: lifecycles • From 1 st April 2004 Production grid service based on the LCG infrastructure running LCG-2 grid m/w • In parallel develop a “next generation” grid facility Produce a new set of grid services according to evolving standards (web services) Run a pre-production service providing early access for evaluation purposes Will replace LCG-2 on production facility in 2005 LCG-1 LCG-2 Globus 2 based EGEE-1 EGEE-2 Web services based VDT EDG . . .

Specific responsibilities • Uo. A+IASA+GRNET-HQ: m/w certification; release documentation, etc. • • Certification testbed by IASA/Uo. A+Demokritos: Guidelines for configuration and automatic installation tools. Run local installation testbed to verify installation procedures. CTI: helpdesk, knowledge database, coordination of the support procedures. Uo. C: EGEE-SEE website/portal. IASA, Uo. A, Auth, ICCS: host and co-manage necessary core GRID services, as agreed with GRNET-HQ. ICS-FORTH: Coordinate the monitoring service (Grid. Ice server + database). Auth and Aegean: security. Auth operates the CA; Aegean provides support and specific authorisation activities, site security guidelines, RA.
