D4Science’s robust infrastructure and extensive array of services can be seamlessly integrated into your research applications, offering your users powerful capabilities for data management, analysis, collaboration, and publication, ultimately strengthening their research endeavours.
As a service provider, you can:
- Leverage the D4Science infrastructure to expose your data, storage, and cloud-based resources through a common unified space. This allows you to integrate your services with minimal cost and ensures interoperability with other resources.
- Utilise the Cloud Computing Platform (CCP) to execute custom methods and algorithms within the D4Science environment. The CCP supports various programming languages and can handle computationally intensive analyses.
- Integrate your own services and applications using container orchestration tools like Docker Swarm and Kubernetes, ensuring they are highly available and scalable.
- Provide access to a wide range of tools and services through D4Science’s comprehensive API Gateway. This simplifies the process of integrating your services and allows you to leverage D4Science’s extensive capabilities.
- Offer your users secure and scalable data storage solutions through StorageHub, which ensures data integrity and accessibility.
- Enable collaborative research by integrating D4Science’s social networking tools, messaging services, and shared workspaces into your platform. This promotes knowledge sharing and joint efforts.
- Streamline data publication and discovery through the D4Science Catalogue and other services of the Data Publishing Framework. This allows your users to share their research artifacts and make them easily discoverable.
- Benefit from the as-a-Service paradigm, which allows you to acquire the services and capacity needed in an elastic way, reducing operational costs.
- Take advantage of the Service Framework, which provides a robust infrastructure for deploying, managing, and supporting applications and services, including tools like Docker and Kubernetes.
- Provide your users with tailored Virtual Research Environments (VREs) customised to specific research needs, with all the necessary tools and resources to support their work.
- Leverage D4Science's commitment to open science, allowing your users to share their methods and results, thereby contributing to a more transparent and collaborative research ecosystem.
- Benefit from D4Science's Consultancy and Support services, providing expert guidance and assistance to users to maximise the potential of the platform’s tools and resources.
- Ensure interoperability with external systems by using standardised APIs and formats, including support for various data formats and services, such as WMS, WFS, and WCS for georeferenced data.
