What is the VL-e Proof of Concept Environment
The Proof-of-Concept Environment (PoC) is the shared, common environment
for e-Science of the Virtual Laboratory for e-Science. In the PoC, the
different tools and services used by and provided by the project are
available, and bound together in a service oriented approach.
The PoC covers three distinct areas:
- A software Distribution, to be
installed by any-one in VL-e
interested in participating in the PoC
- A PoC Environment, the ensemble of systems that run the
current PoC Distribution
- The PoC
Central Facilities, those systems running the PoC
Distribution that are centrally managed by the Scaling
and Validation Programme on behalf of the Project
The PoC is managed by the VL-e Integration Team (VLeIT). Its
mandate
defines the composition of the team and the desired PoC architecture.
Infrastructure
The PoC Central Facilities consist of a wide variety of resources and access
points, including large compute clusters, and storage space in near-line tape
storage, all accessible via grid and data management tools. Also contained in
the PoC are various other application services like databases, and of course
local user interface systems.
Training and dissemination
Regular tutorials and workshops are organised to spread knowledge on the
infrastructure and to make developers and users acquainted with new
technological developments.

event web site.
BiG Grid
BiG Grid, the Dutch e-Science Grid, is the production oriented
infrastructure for e-science and research in the Netherlands. The VL-e
PoC Distribution and the interoperable software suite of the EGEE
project are available on BiG Grid core resources to support the
applications.
