Description
The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) relies on a network of regional centres, known as SKA Regional Centres (SRCs), to manage the vast amounts of data generated by the telescopes, and to provide the global scientific community with seamless access to processing and support services. Each SRC will contribute to this distributed infrastructure by offering data storage, high-performance computing, user services and integration with the global SRC network. In this context, the Italian SKA Regional Centre (ITSRC) is being developed as a full partner in the international SRC network, providing resources and services to researchers in Italy and around the world. An implementation of the ITSRC has been deployed at the Catania Astrophysical Observatory and it’s currently undergoing testing as part of the SRC test campaigns. ITSRC will soon be relocated to CINECA, Italy’s leading high-performance computing centre, in Bologna. This talk will present the current status of the ITSRC, outline the requirements that have already been met to ensure compliance with the SRCNet 0.1 global specifications, and describe the ITSRC's roadmap, focusing on the planned steps to expand its capabilities in support of future SKA operations.
