Supersites Exploitation Platform (SSEP)

- SSEP is meant to allow scientists to easily exploit EO data resources by combining fast data access, processing facilities and flexibility for the user own data analysis

- Data Access: up to 100TB of data spanning an observation period of 20 years (ERS/ENVISAT from Virtual Archive 4)

- Processing Services: enable users to invoke processing of data available in the repository using CNR SBAS, NEST, GAMMA

- Platform Services: availability of virtual hosts (sandboxes)

- Community: 150 scientists, collaboration with the European Plate Observing System (EPOS) and USGS

Strategic Plan

Establish multi-tenant, multi-provider cloud infrastructure

Identify and adopt policies for trust, security and privacy

Create governance structure

Define funding schemes

To support the computing

capacity needs for the ATLAS experiment

Setting up a new service to simplify analysis of large genomes, for a

deeper insight into evolution and biodiversity

To create an Earth Observation

platform, focusing on earthquake and volcano research

Adopters

Helix Nebula – The Science Cloud

SSEP Work in Progress and Next Steps (2013)

1. Open the data access to scientific community

2. Complete and deploy tools (such as SBAS-InSAR time series from CNR and Commercial tools from SMEs and open source) on demand on HN

3. Allow users (scientists) to process data on dedicated sandboxes; for algorithm development and small data processing

4. Provide users (scientists) to access large data processing where to deploy and exploit their applications via a portal

Aiming at the creation of an Ecosystem
