📸 Introduction to the SDC Team
The tasks at the start of SDC are manifold. They range from establishing standards and policies, curating and injecting data from the OT and other sources, setting up the necessary IT infrastructure, to creating a new project plan in record time.
As of January 2021, this challenge is being met by twelve members with overlapping responsibilities and expertise (at least two more engineers are expected to join in the course of 2021).

SDC Project Status 02-2021
SDC Project kick-off was held on October 2020. Since then we have come a long way. We have had workshop with scientists to gather requirements for this new service platform. We have also tested a lot of different technology options to be selected as building block for the future infrastructure.
Now we have entered the Solution Analysis and Design phase. In this phase we will work with different conceptual design components to be selected into our final blueprint and to be further implemented later this year.
The project team has also deployed Jira Atlassian for Service Management and Documentation. Jira Service Management will in the future serve SDC as “Help Desk” ticketing system and knowledge base for platform users. It will provide automated workflows, support portal, knowledge base, feedback system and many more new services for the community.

Definition & Status of the project Requirements
In addition to political, technical and security requirements, the workshops in late 2021 helped us clarify expectations that scientists from different disciplines have of the SDC. We continuously update a list of all identified demands. The list includes each requirement's current priority, a possibly assigned responsible, and its current status.

Dedicatel 10 Gbit line between KIS & OT
We are currently setting up a dedicated 10 Gbit line between the OT and the KIS (technically, we get a wavelength in a multiplexed dark-fibre, a so-called Lambda).
On Spanish territory, the line is completely free of charge. Nevertheless, the (throughput independent) annual costs for the remaining distance amount to approx. 45 k€ (incl. VAT). Additionally, there are one-time set-up costs of about 30 k€. The costs are
We expect a significantly lower latency on the new line than on the existing internet connection (which will not be affected in any way).
Therefore, we will mainly use it for remote observations and data transport within the framework of the SDC.
The SDC is striving for cooperation with the SCC/KIT in Karlsruhe. By coincidence, the 10 Gbit line enters German territory at the DFN node in Campus North of the KIT. We hope to connect KIT and KIS using the same line without significantly higher costs (despite the high expected load).
