Summary-----STFC supports science programmes in the areas of Astronomy, Astrophysics, Cosmology, Nuclear Physics, Particle Physics and Solar System science, and supports the national analytic science facilities including the Diamond Light Source, ISIS, and the Central Laser Facility. These science programmes and facilities activities are all data intensive, requiring very large capacity computing and data handling facilities connected by a high performance network to other global facilities (collectively called the e-Infrastructure).In this proposal, we request £1.5M of funding to support a set of work packages which will deliver progress towards the development the STFC e-Infrastructure in three key areas:-Cloud infrastructure development-Software ecosystem development-Data exploitation in a shared environmentThe facility we will create will augment existing well proven and effective e-Infrastructures, and be made available to all science areas within STFC supported by the Programmes Directorate and the STFC Scientific Computing Department.The facility will also allow us to build concrete links with other RCUK research areas, and to participate further in the development of a National e-Infrastructure (NeI) for research.

摘要-----STFC支持天文学、天体物理学、宇宙学、核物理、粒子物理和太阳系科学领域的科学项目，并支持国家分析科学设施，包括钻石光源、ISIS和中央激光设施这些科学计划和设施活动都是数据密集型的，需要通过高性能网络连接到其他全球设施（统称为电子基础设施）的超大容量计算和数据处理设施。在本提案中，我们要求。 150 万英镑的资金用于支持一系列工作包，这些工作包将在三个关键领域推动 STFC 电子基础设施的发展：-云基础设施开发-软件生态系统开发-共享环境中的数据开发我们将创建的设施将增强现有经过充分验证和有效的电子基础设施，并可供 STFC 内由项目理事会和 STFC 科学计算部支持的所有科学领域使用。该设施还将允许我们与其他 RCUK 研究领域建立具体联系，并参与进一步开发用于研究的国家电子基础设施（NeI）。
