Description
Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe is one of the largest science and engineering research
institutions in Europe. The resource centre GridKa as part of this science centre is
building up a Tier 1 centre for the LHC project. Embedded in the European grid
initiative EGEE, GridKa also manages the ROC (regional operation centre) for the
German Swiss region. A ROC is responsible for regional coordination, organisation and
support of the sustainable operations grid infrastructure in EGEE. A particularity of
this specific ROC is its distributed organisational structure. The German Swiss
operations community, currently consisting of 14 resource centres, is supported and
organised by a team of 6 partners. On the one hand a consequence of this decentral
approach is a larger effort for organisation and management. On the other hand grid
knowledge and expertise is naturally spread among partners with various backgrounds.
As a consequence grid technology is being developed and deployed with a wider
usability over more use cases and science communities, then it would be in a central
approach. Different aspects of this regional specific organisation structures as part
of the global EGEE grid operations as well as roadmap for upcoming ROC services and
tasks will be highlighted. The successful integration of grid tools for operations
and support leads to a sustainable structure of the German Swiss region within a
world wide grid community.
