Description

The Steinbuch Centre for Computing (SCC) is a new organizational unit of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). Founded in February 2008 as a merger of the previous computing centres of the Technical University Karlsruhe and Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe, SCC provides a broad spectrum of IT services for 8.000 employees and 18.000 students and carries out research and development in key areas of information technology under the same roof. SCC is also known to host the German WLCG Tier-1 centre GridKa.

In order to accompany the merging of the two existing computing centres located at a distance of about 10 km and to provide common first class services for science, SCC has selected the IT service management according to the industry standard “IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL)” as a strategic element. The presentation will discuss the implementation of a few ITIL key components, the required effort, the advantages but also potential pitfalls from the perspective of a Scientific Computing Centre using examples of grid services at GridKa.

Dr. Holger Marten is the head of department “Distributed Systems and Grid” and deputy project leader at GridKa, Steinbuch Centre for Computing, Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe (Germany)
