VIP4VPH already makes use of EGI and PRACE resources

• VIP4VPH already makes use of EGI and PRACE resources

• Uses MOTEUR workflow engine + other infrastructure components
• Application Hosting Environment provides bridge into PRACE

• We need to involve EUDAT:

• Data should be moved from current VIP server to EUDAT when PRACE resources are used & resulting data ingested back
• GridFTP interface a requirement to interoperated with existing infrastructure

Authentication: 1 VO(MS) should be supported on EUDAT. Otherwise, application switches (VOMS) proxies (possible but not suitable).

• Authentication: 1 VO(MS) should be supported on EUDAT. Otherwise, application switches (VOMS) proxies (possible but not suitable).

• Application could merge 3.a and 3.b in a 3rd-party transfer
