International cloud infrastructure for space weather data management: The DemoGRAPE challenge

Data management for E-science applications need to adopt new platforms/services aiming at improving the interactions between users and data, through sharing, flexibility and resources availability. In the space weather domain, the DemoGRAPE project, under the GRAPE initiative (www.grape.scar.org), focuses on merging E-science and ICT to push forward international collaborations on Irregular Ionosphere investigation with GNSS signals in Polar Regions. DemoGRAPE aims at being a pilot project to improve resources and data management in different geographic sites.
