Dear FIWARE LAB NODES SUPPORT CALL Managers, I represent a partnership settled in Alentejo Region, Portugal with a strong focus on ICT and innovation. We've been discussing our possible participation in FIWARE as an innovative and strategic network for our participation. Unfortunately we will not be able to submit our proposal today due to time and information constraints. Our regional partnership gets together several actors: · ADRAL (Alentejo Regional Development Agency) as a private-public partnership to promote regional and local development www.adral.pt<http://www.adral.pt>; · DECSIS as a Portuguese SME dedicated to ICT services having large experience data center, nearshoring services, support services, with a presence in Évora, Porto, Lisbon, Madeira and Madrid. DECSIS owns a TIER2 Data Centre location in Évora with 2.000m2, full 24x7 management and support team www.decsis.eu<http://www.decsis.eu>; · CIMAC (Alentejo Central Association of Municipalities) representing 14 municipalities and its role in local development supported in collective innovative projects www.cimac.pt<http://www.cimac.pt>; · Startup Incubator Centers with a connected community of entrepreneurial initiatives; The ICT ecosystem represented by this partnership is fully capable of developing the requirements for the integration in the FIWARE partnership. Regarding this the infrastructure is based on a TIER2 Data Center with connections to RCTS/GEANT at 1Gbps (upgradable to 10Gbps), an internet connection with 1Gbps/1Gbps connectivity and a regional network connecting 14 entrepreneurial parks, municipalities and SME with 10Gbps bandwidth. The cloud capacity is growing every day to more than 500 CPU core, 4Tb of RAM and more than 200TB of available SAN capacity. This only regarding capacity owned by the partnership, more from customers is in place. In what regards computing capacity we were able to deploy a new computing node on FIWARE solution with 220 CPU CORES, 1TB RAM and 30TB of SAN storage space. We believe that it would be a good contribution to the project. In what concerns to the ICT team we have resources of 20 dedicated ICT in project development and operations teams, with several years of experience in ICT projects. A good part of the team is dedicated to 24x7 operations and the other part to project and innovation development. The team has several experienced engineers in virtualization solutions like Hyper-V, VMWARE, Dockers. The limited experience in Open stack was what made us slow down a little bit our participation in this call. Nevertheless we believe we can contribute to the FIWARE development and processing capacity. We would like to participate in any future calls, if available, for integration in the FIWARE partnership. The team will continue to work waiting for any new opportunities you place in new calls. I felicitate the FIWARE project and partnership for this ambitious initiative to promote ICT partnerships and innovative solutions to boots SME solutions to the European market. I hope that we can join shortly the partnership. I am also available to help with our experience in any support you need regarding FIWARE development.
