Integrating and managing services for the
European Open Science Cloud

2. 212/10/2018
The EOSC-hub project mobilises providers from the
EGI Federation, EUDAT CDI, INDIGO-DataCloud and
major research e-infrastructures offering services for
advanced data-driven research and innovation.
These resources are offered via the Hub – the
integration and management system of the European
Open Science Cloud, acting as a single entry point for
all stakeholders.
EOSC-hub: Services for the European Open Science Cloud

3. 3
Simplify access to a broad portfolio of resources and services
through an open and integrated service catalogue.
Reduce fragmentation of service access and provisioning →
through interoperability
Consolidate Research e-Infrastructures by improving service
quality, and thus increasing innovation capacity.
Widen the access to services to all user groups: researchers,
students, professionals, innovators, citizens…

HIGH LEVEL GOALS

4. 412/10/2018
The project has created the EOSC Hub:
a federated integration and management system
for EOSC
• Data
• Applications & tools
• Baseline services
(storage, compute,
connectivity)
• Training, consultants
• Marketplace
• AAI
• Accounting
• Monitoring
From the consortium AND
from external contributors
• Lightweight certification
of providers
• SLA negotiation
• Customer Relationship
Management
• Security regulations,
• Compliance to
standards,
• Terms of use,
• FAIR implementation
guidelines

5. Many things….
What can you do with this?

6. 6
Run computational jobs at large scale on the EGI infrastructure, like
the LHC experiments do.
https://marketplace.eosc-portal.eu/services/egi-high-throughput-compute
In particular:
• Analyse large datasets and execute thousands of parallel computing tasks.
• HTC is provided by a distributed network of computing centres, with Virtual
Organization based membership
• Ask EGI for a Virtual Organization for your community, and join us !
Selected features in EOSC-hub:
• Technical support
• Capacity via brokering to national HTC providers
• Services to federate community-owned HTC clusters
High-Throughput Computing (HTC)

7. 7
Execute Cloud compute- and Data-intensive workloads
https://marketplace.eosc-portal.eu/services/egi-cloud-compute
and much more:
✓Host long-running services (e.g. web servers, databases or applications servers)
✓Create disposable testing and development environments on virtual machines
A selection of Features:
• Multi-cloud IaaS with Single Sign-On (EGI Federated Cloud)
• Run Docker containers (deploy and scale Docker containers on-demand)
• Services to federate community-owned cloud resources
• Technical support
Federated Computing IaaS and PaaS

8. 8
Share documents with live code, equations, visualisations
and explanatory text.
https://marketplace.eosc-portal.eu/services/egi-notebooks
Provided through EOSC-hub:
● Jupyter Notebook service with
● AoD integration
● Persistent storage
● Customized notebook environments
● Access to other EOSC services from the notebooks
…and very fancy things like:
Jupyter Notebooks
