Selected Services for Initial Helmholtz Cloud Service Portfolio
The selection process for the initial Helmholtz Cloud service portfolio has been successfully completed.
At the end of this process, 38 services offered by nine Helmholtz Centers were selected. Considering that some services are provided by several centers, the initial service portfolio includes 21 different services.
HIFIS Pages and Helpdesk launched
Homepage and Documentation
The HIFIS homepage as well as the HIFIS Documentation have been restructured and relaunched.
The new workflow uses best-practices continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) workflow to streamline collaborative contribution to the homepage and the documentation.
Start of Helmholtz VPN
Coordinated by DESY, HIFIS fostered a service agreement with the German National Research and Education Network (DFN) on operating a a Helmholtz-wide Virtual Private Network (Helmholtz Backbone). The VPN shall cover the majority of Helmholtz centres.
Last steps towards initial service portfolio
Starting with over 100 services as candidates for the upcoming Helmholtz Cloud, we had to define transparent and objective criteria to make the services comparable. We established a service selection process consisting of three iterations to shrink the service candidate list to a handable size. Now we are conducting the 3rd and last iteration of the service selection in which each remaining service is documented with detailed information. Using this information the final score of each service can be calculated. The score will give priority on which services will be integrated into Helmholtz Cloud first.
HZI-HIFIS collaboration for Coronavirus Surveys
HZI-led Coronavirus Sero-Survey in collaboration with HIFIS
The German Center for Infection Research (DZIF) builds a platform collecting methodologies and results of coronavirus antibody studies. In cooperation with HIFIS and led by scientists at the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI), the project “LEOSS.sero-survey” is being implemented.
