CIC portal: a collaborative and scalable integration platform for high availability grid operations

— EGEE, along with its sister project LCG, manages the world’s largest Grid production infrastructure which is spreading nowadays over 260 sites in more than 40 countries. Just as building such a system requires novel approaches, also its management requires innovation. From an operational point of view, the first challenge we face is to provide scalable tools and procedures able to follow-up the ever expanding infrastructure and the constant evolution of the needs. The second is to ensure that all these tools strongly interact with one another, as their development is spread out. Consequently our goal is to provide a homogeneous way to access tools and analyse data for daily operational needs. To implement this concept into LCG/EGEE infrastructure management tools, IN2P3 Computing Centre proposed a web portal, named "CIC Operations Portal", conceived and built as an integration platform for existing features and new requirements. Firstly, we describe the initial needs th...
