Pilot Category: Technology / Service 

This is a technology pilot, with its focus on the new features that are present in FoD v 1.5 and were not available in the current production version FoD v1.1.

Required Infrastructure:

The infrastructure that is needed for the pilot includes:

• A server with pre-installed FoD v1.5 version enabled on the networks of the NRENs that participate in the pilot - it is provided by GEANT OC and supported by JRA2 T6 team
• End-user testing equipment - participating NRENs will ensure this equipment for themselves

Pilot participants are welcome to contact JRA2 T6 team members: Evangelos Spatharas (evangelos.spatharas@geant.org) and David Schmitz (David.Schmitz@lrz.de) about the pilot.

Users:

Target users are GEANT NRENs as FoD enables 

Who are the target users for this pilot, and who actually participates in the pilot as the user.

Objectives:

 Explain the objectives for the pilot - what does the pilot want to test / prove. Define Critical Success Factors (CSFs) and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

Means of verification:

 How it will be checked if the pilot has met the defined objectives.  Consider also conducting a survey among pilot participants. Each objective might have their own means of verification. Since this page will be used for pilot closure, the table is created with the third column stating is the objective is verified and reached or not. This should be populated before the end of the pilot and be used for pilot success assessment.
