GÉANT Task Froces (TFs) are established under the auspices of GÉANT in order to create an open forum where experts from its community exchange information, knowledge, ideas and best practices about specific technical or other areas of business relevant to the research and education networking community.

 

The aims of this Task Force are:

    • to provide a forum for gathering expertise, exchanging and promoting ideas, experience and knowledge related to next-generation/augmented data storage technology, delivery models and services;
    • to identify, and promote the use of common techniques, technology, procedures and best practices in the field of data storage and data management that are relevant to the research and education community;
    • to coordinate, support and - where possible - collaborate on the development, evaluation, deployment and maintenance of storage services and applications for the benefit of academic community and NRENs;
    • to address the data privacy issues in storage systems (especially in cloud storage) by liaising with the GÉANT SIG-ISM group;
    • to address storage systems and identity federations for transparent access to NREN’s storage services, applications and clouds; liaising with REFEDS;
    • to accommodate the technical discussions on Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) related initiatives taken up by NRENs interested in computing, storage and network resource visualization and management;
    • to liaise with SNIA and other industrial stakeholders and communities and projects such as GÉANT, Internet2, APAN, EGI, EUDAT, CERN, Helix-Nebula as well as individual developers and researchers.

The TF-Storage task force is co-chaired by:

  • Maciej Brzezniak (PSNC)
  • Peter Stefan (NIIF/HUNGARNET)
