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.ene-InfrastructuresGrid interoperationsCloud federationsData managementPersistent identifiersConference PresentationPrnjat, O., Becker, B., Barbera, R., Kanellopoulos, C., Koumantaros, K., Mayo-Garcia, R., & Ruggier, F.
