Requirements of Communication Infrastructure

• Modern information technologies in research
  implies
• High reliable and secure transferring of heavy
  information streams
• High quality and high speed for local and
  outside connection specific to
• Grid computing
• Voice and videoconferencing
• Distributed clustering solutions

Cosmic Ray Division Overview

• Aragats Space Environmental Center (ASEC)
• ASEC, established in 1999, combines solar
  activity monitoring with online data
  accessibility. It provides valuable insights into
  the mechanisms of ion acceleration on the Sun.
  The results of its current research will enable
  CRD to use the online data analysis and
  forecasting capabilities to provide alerts and
  warnings about severe radiation storms.
• SEVAN (Space Environmental Viewing and Analysis
  Network)
• is a network of middle to low latitude particle
  detectors which aims to improve fundamental
  research of space weather conditions and to
  provide short and long-term forecasts of
  dangerous consequences of space storms.
• DVIN Data Visualization Interactive Network
• The United Nations Basic Space Science
  Observatory Development program and International
  Heliophysical Year 2007 (IHY 2007) recognized
  SEVAN as one of the main activities carried out
  within the framework of the program of employing
  Space Weather detectors in developing countries
  to involve these countries in space research.

Main Results of Grid activities at YerPhI

• Deployment of a User Interface (a point of
  access to the Grid), that uses computing
  infrastructure at DESY
• Establishment of Certification Authority to
  provide Grid certificates for EGEE projects
• Number of HEP software development has been done
  by YerPhI/Alice and YerPhI/IT teams for
  YerPhI-CERN-DESY collaboration

And the latest challenge In March 2007 The
YerPhI Grid Site was certified as production
site of EGEE
