Elevating FAIR data analytics in EOSC: EGI’s SLA with EuroScienceGateway

EuroScienceGateway

EGI is thrilled to announce the latest Service Level Agreement (SLA) established with the Horizon Europe project EuroScienceGateway, providing top-notch Cloud Compute, Storage, Workload Manager and Check-in services to extend the available computing resources of the UseGalaxy.eu platform.

What is EuroScienceGateway

EuroScienceGateway will leverage a distributed computing network across 13 European countries, accessible via six national, user-friendly web portals, facilitating access to compute and storage infrastructures across Europe as well as to data, tools, workflows and services that can be customised to suit researchers’ needs. EuroScienceGateway will deliver a robust, scalable, seamlessly integrated open infrastructure for data-driven research, contributing an innovative and customisable service for EOSC that enables operational open and FAIR data and data processing, empowering European researchers.

The services offered

EGI Cloud Compute, EGI Online Storage and EGI Check-in enable researchers to deploy and scale virtual machines on demand thanks to guaranteed computational resources in the cloud. In the context of EuroScienceGateway we demonstrate how to connect compute and storage resources in the EGI Federated Cloud with the UseGalaxy.eu platform, following a Bring Your Own Compute (BYOC) and Storage (BYOS) approach. The computational and storage resources in the cloud for this SLA are provided by the federated OpenStack sites at INFN Cloud Bari and IISAS FedCloud. EGI DataHub has been included in the offering to host data for the Galaxy Training Network. EGI Workload Manager will bring advanced scheduling of user workloads generated on the platform into the distributed infrastructure.
