  Control systems of large experimental facilities need a great number of heterogeneous interconnected parameters to control software applications. As configuration information grows in volume, it becomes harder to be maintained manually and poses a potential threat to data integrity. To tackle this problem, we applied ontological approach to storing configuration data. Ontology is a formal representation of concepts and relations of the domain of discourse, enriched by rules for inferring assumed knowledge. We designed the ontology that describes the controlling electronics for the double-direction bipolar transfer line K-500, which transports beam from the Injection Complex to colliders VEPP-4 and VEPP-2000 at BINP, Novosibirsk, Russia. We populated the ontology by importing data from existing configuration files of the control system and developed the interface for querying configuration data. The designed storage has several benefits over the conventional approaches. It maintains heterogeneous objects with non-trivial dependencies in centralized form, performs data verification and can be expanded to the diverse ontology describing all information about the facility.

  In 2017 the Injection Complex at Budker Institute, Novosibirsk, Russia began to operate for its consumers - colliders VEPP-4 and VEPP-2000. For successful functioning of these installations is very important to ensure a stable operation of their control systems and IT-infrastructure. The given article is about new IT-infrastructures of three accelerators: Injection Complex, VEPP-2000 and VEPP-4. IT-infrastructure for accelerators consists of servers, network equipment and system software with 10-20 years life-cycle and timely support. The reasons to create IT-infrastructure with the same principles are costs minimization and simplification of support. The following points that underlie during designing are high availability, flexibility and low cost. First is achieved through redundancy of hardware - doubling of servers, disks and network interconnections. Flexibility is caused by extensive use of virtualization that allows easy migration from one hardware to another in case of fault and gives users an ability to use custom system environment. Low cost - from equipment unification and minimizing proprietary solutions
