Integrate and operate infrastructure in ACCESS
We are ACCESS Operations, we support ACCESS resource providers (RPs), ACCESS projects, and developers who need to integrate and operate infrastructure in ACCESS.
What is Access Operations?
ACCESS Operations is provided by the CONECT project. CONECT (COre National Ecosystem for CyberinfrasTructure) delivers innovative integrations across the NSF-funded cyberinfrastructure ecosystem in the areas of operations, data and networking, and cybersecurity. CONECT uses agile mechanisms to integrate the rapidly diversifying set of non-traditional resources that previously have been left on the fringes of the national cyberinfrastructure.
Focus areas
Cybersecurity
Developing and maintaining policies, procedures and services, to protect the security of the ACCESS cyberinfrastructure.
Operations Support
Coordinating the integration and operations of RP, ACCESS project, and community services.
Data & Networking
Provides an efficient and resilient data transfer capability between instruments, resources, centers, and campuses in the CI ecosystem and engages with the US national research and education backbone network.
STEP
This is a female-led program that is dedicated to being inclusive! US-based domestic and international students are eligible to apply if they are enrolled at a US-based educational institution.
ACCESS Integrated infrastructure
ACCESS can integrate the following types of infrastructure. Apart from that, we have services that are already integrated.
Compute Integration
Integrate a high-performance computing “HPC” cluster into ACCESS so that researchers can request compute allocations through ACCESS
Storage Integration
Integrate a storage system into ACCESS so that researchers can request storage allocations through ACCESS.
Science Gateways
Coming Soon. Will enable Science Gateways to integrate into ACCESS so that researchers using the science gateway can use ACCESS resources.
Cloud Integration
Integrate a cloud resources into ACCESS so that researchers can request hosting allocations through ACCESS.
Advanced CI of the Future
ACCESS plans to enable integration of new novel and advanced infrastructure in the ACCESS ecosystem. Please contact us to discuss any cyberinfrastructure you would like add to the ACCESS ecosystem.
There is more we do!
Community Support
Campus Champions and Resource Providers to discuss and communicate topics of interest.
