Abstract

The ASTRI ("Astrofisica con Specchi a Tecnologia Replicante Italiana") program is a collaborative international effort led by the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF) for developing and operating an array of nine 4-m class Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs), sensitive to gamma-ray radiation at energies above 1 TeV, under deployment at the Teide Observatory in Tenerife, in the Canary Islands. In order to support the development, installation and operations of the ASTRI Mini-Array an on-site Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Infrastructure has been designed. In this paper we describe the main objective of the ICT infrastructure project and its configuration in the initial phase. This ICT infrastructure, which we called mini-ICT (m-ICT), include all hardware and services needed to support the installation and testing of the first three Telescopes Mechanical Structures of the ASTRI Mini-Array that will be installed at the Teide site by 2022, before the definitive ICT infrastructure will be up and running. The m-ICT includes a virtualization system (ProxMox) and a container system to run the ASTRI Mini-Array on-site control and monitoring software. It also includes all interconnection functions of his Local Area Network (LAN) and the necessary network services: Network Time Protocol (NTP), Domain name Server (DNS), Network Address translator (NAT), Virtual Private Network (VPN), Routing. Internet connection will also be supported so that the connection with the ASTRI Data Centre in Italy (Rome) can be tested and all test results transferred to this persistent storage.
