EPOC

The Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC) is a collaborative focal point for operational expertise and analysis. It is jointly led by Indiana University and the Energy Sciences Network (ESnet).

Lighting the way for the data-movement pipeline

Over the last decade, the scientific community has experienced an unprecedented shift in the way research is performed and how discoveries are made. Highly sophisticated experimental instruments are creating massive datasets for diverse scientific communities and hold the potential for new insights that will have long-lasting impacts on society. However, scientists cannot make effective use of this data if they are unable to efficiently move, store, and analyze it.

EPOC provides researchers with a holistic set of tools and services needed to debug performance issues and enable reliable and robust data transfers. By considering the full end-to-end data-movement pipeline, EPOC is uniquely able to support collaborative science, allowing researchers to make the most effective use of shared data, computing, and storage resources to accelerate the discovery process.
