CHAIN-REDS, an EU co-funded project, focuses on promoting and supporting technological and scientific collaboration across different e-Infrastructures established and operated in various continents. The project implemented a Regional Operations Centre (ROC) model for enabling Grid computing interoperation across continents, and an operational ROC has been set up for Africa. Moreover, the project operates a global Cloud federation test-bed, where also nascent African Cloud sites contribute. Finally, the project is supporting a reallife use-case from Africa that of APHRC, using its data e-Infrastructure services.
