• Other Resources: the resoruces running Other type of Services like GeoServer, ActiveMQ etc.

As said, besides the resources hosted in D4ScienceAn e-Infrastructure operated by the D4Science.org initiative. Ecosystem itself, iMarine is establishing close interoperability links with other infrastructures, many of them already available in the D4ScienceAn e-Infrastructure operated by the D4Science.org initiative. Ecosystem.
