Towards an Open Platform for File S&S, AAI and Node-as-a-service for EOSC

The EOSC4ALL project envisions a truly inclusive EOSC Federation, where deploying an EOSC Node is simple, fast, and accessible to all eligible organisations. By lowering entry barriers, EOSC4All aims to empower researchers and institutions to access, share, and discover services and research outputs seamlessly and securely across institutional, national, and disciplinary boundaries.
EOSC4ALL will enable this vision by delivering the GÉANT Digital Research Environment (GDRE), which is a multitenant managed platform offered as a service (PaaS) fully compliant with the EOSC Node Reference Architecture and providing all the Node Core Capabilities. On the basis of the GDRE platform, EOSC4ALL will deploy six production ready EOSC Nodes (SWITCH, DeiC, HEAnet, Pro-M, Cynet, GÉANT) ready to join the EOSC Federation.
Next to delivering the GDRE platform and the six EOSC Nodes, EOSC4ALL will deliver the AAI and EFSS EOSC Federating Capabilities and easy solutions for EOSC Nodes to enable the AAI Node Core Capability and EFSS Node Generic Capability. Through these solutions EOSC Nodes will be able to easily join the AAI and EFSS EOSC Federating Capabilities.
The GDRE and the easy solutions for the Node AAI and EFSS capabilities will be offered to EOSC Nodes enabled through the GDRE platform and to the wider GÉANT and EOSC community. EOSC4ALL will also deliver business and sustainability plans to demonstrate that the EOSC4ALL results will be sustained beyond the lifetime of the project and will also deliver a well-designed training programme, including “Train-the-Trainer” modules for the organisations that will deploy EOSC Nodes built on the GDRE.
