Overall Strategy

The service activities in EGI-InSPIRE are aimed at ensuring that the Grid infrastructure supports the different Science communities in a way that is both efficient and sustainable.

This aim will be achieved by:

• operating the production Grid infrastructure (SA1),

• providing a software infrastructure through the coordination of external software providers, appropriate middleware component repositories, support tools and procedures, and a support unit for investigating software issues found in production (SA2),

• providing specific higher-level services for the needs of the communities that are presently heavy users of the Grid (SA3).
