Descrizione del progetto
Sistema open source integrato per incrementare la collaborazione nei servizi di archiviazione sul cloud
I servizi di archiviazione sul cloud per la sincronizzazione e la condivisione sono un elemento indispensabile della routine del flusso di lavoro quotidiana, consentendo a gruppi di ricerca, scienziati e ingegneri di condividere, trasferire e sincronizzare i dati in modo semplice ma potente. I servizi sono gestiti e finanziati dai principali fornitori di infrastrutture elettroniche come le reti nazionali per la ricerca e l’istruzione e le principali istituzioni di ricerca. Tuttavia, questi servizi rimangono in gran parte disconnessi l’uno dall’altro. Il progetto CS3MESH4EOSC, finanziato dall’UE, integrerà l’ecosistema di applicazioni esistente promuovendo interfacce e protocolli di programmazione delle applicazioni indipendenti dal fornitore. Infrastrutture open source connesse all’avanguardia offriranno ai ricercatori un accesso più ampio ai servizi e promuoveranno la ricerca collaborativa.
Obiettivo
In recent years Cloud Services for Synchronization and Sharing (CS3) have been widely deployed in the research and educational space. The services are operated and funded by major e-infrastructure providers, NRENs (National Research & Education Networks) and major research institutions. The CS3 services have become successful on a national level at the scale of individual institutions and started becoming an indispensable element of daily workflows for hundreds of thousands of users including researchers, students, scientists and engineers. The community deploying these services grew bottom up and found its home at the yearly CS3 conferences (cs3.cern.ch). However, these services remain largely disconnected, and they are developed and deployed in isolation from each other. At the current state of maturity and community uptake however, combining these various systems and services would allow to boost open-science by presenting a joint, coordinated service to the users in the research and education space on a pan-European level. CS3MESH4EOSC implements a service for the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) with a built-in sustainability model using the on-premise service delivery by utilizing existing key technology enablers: Open Cloud Mesh (OCM) standardized protocol and EduGAIN service. It consolidates and integrates the existing application ecosystem by promoting vendor-neutral APIs and protocols following the open-source strategy for delivering services -- a platform for a thriving application ecosystem in EOSC. CS3MESH4EOSC empowers service providers in delivering state-of-the-art, connected infrastructure to boost effective scientific collaboration across the entire federation and data sharing according to FAIR principles.The project delivers the core of a scientific and educational infrastructure for cloud storage services in Europe through a lightweight federation of existing sync/share services and integration with multidisciplinary application workflows.
