Data Infrastructure Capacity for EOSC
In January 2021, the European Commission launched projects to increase the services offered by the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) Portal. The “Data Infrastructure Capacities for EOSC” (DICE) project brings together a network of computing and data centres, research infrastructures, and data repositories. They offer a European storage and data management infrastructure for EOSC, providing generic services and building blocks to store, find, access, and process data in a consistent and persistent way. Eighteen providers from 11 European countries are offering 14 state-of-the-art data management services with more than 50 PB of storage capacity.
JSC coordinates activities to integrate DICE services and resources with other platforms and infrastructures. It also offers
- B2DROP – a secure and trusted cloud storage service,
- B2SAFE – a service for data replication and long-term preservation, and
- B2ACCESS – a federated cross-infrastructure authorization and authentication framework.
