ACCESS Allocated Production Storage
Infrastructure Integration Roadmap Description
Infrastructure Type(s)
This roadmap integrates a storage resource. Researchers interact with storage by writing and reading data files from storage via storage interfaces.
Summary
The ACCESS program (https://access-ci.org) enables researchers and educators to gain access to advanced computing, visualization, and data resources to accomplish their research or classroom objectives using an allocations process described at https://allocations.access-ci.org/.
This roadmap details the tasks that a resource provider must perform to make a specific storage system ACCESS allocated in production. These tasks cover all aspects of integration in production, including coordination activities, technical integration tasks, and ongoing support activities.
Operator Information
Operators planning to integrate storage into ACCESS with this roadmap should contact ACCESS Operations to start the integration process. ACCESS Operations will assign a Concierge Integration Expert to provide personalized hands-on assistance with the integration process, schedule an online meeting between resource provider staff and ACCESS staff to launch the integration process, and provide instructions on how to track integration progress.
Operators must perform the Required Tasks below and may perform the Optional Tasks below.
See related Roadmap Task Timeline.
Support Information
Submit a Request: Resource providers needing assistance with integration tasks can submit an ACCESS Integration and Operation Support Request using instructions on this page. Make certain “ACCESS Integration and Operation Support Request” is selected from the drop-down menu near the top of that page. Lower on the page, select the item from the “ACCESS Operational Support Issues” menu that best matches your request or choose the catch-all issue type “ACCESS-wide: Provider Integration - Infrastructure Integration and Roadmaps“.
Slack Discussion: ACCESS has a Slack channel for infrastructure operators and ACCESS to discuss integration topics. For access submit a request to be invited to the RP-ACCESS #integration-roadmaps Slack channel.
By Weekly Meetings: ACCESS holds a Zoom meeting every second Friday from 11:00 AM to Noon Central for infrastructure operators and ACCESS to discuss integration topics. To obtain Zoom coordinates submit a request for the RP and ACCESS Roadmaps Zoom meeting coordinates.
Integration Consultants: ACCESS allocated resource providers and some other types of infrastructure operators have a Concierge Integration Expert consultant available for one-on-one integration support.
