About

The Operation & Development Team (ODT) Technical Services is responsible for both fundamental data centre operations and specialised services for high-performance computing and scientific communities. Together with the Application Support department, the team manages data centre operations through dedicated management software and dispatching systems, as well as managing various databases. In close collaboration with the Computer Technology Services and Technical Infrastructure teams, special HPC pilot systems are integrated into the JSC infrastructure. To enhance monitoring capabilities, methods are developed to collect, store, and analyse environmental data across the JSC infrastructure, linking it to the central monitoring system. In addition, the team operates storage systems for the long-term archiving of large datasets, supporting research in fields such as radio astronomy and quantum physics simulations.

Within the Program-oriented Funding (PoF IV) of Helmholtz Information, this group contributes to Program 1 “Engineering Digital Futures”, Topic 2 “Supercomputing & Big Data Infrastructures”.
