  The LOw-Frequency ARray is a low-frequency radio interferometer composed by
observational stations spread across Europe and it is the largest precursor of
SKA in terms of effective area and generated data rates. In 2018, the Italian
community officially joined LOFAR project, and it deployed a distributed
computing and storage infrastructure dedicated to LOFAR data analysis. The
infrastructure is based on 4 nodes distributed in different Italian locations
and it offers services for pipelines execution, storage of final and
intermediate results and support for the use of the software and
infrastructure. As the analysis of the LOw-Frequency ARray data requires a very
complex computational procedure, a container-based approach has been adopted to
distribute software environments to the different computing resources. A
science platform approach is used to facilitate interactive access to
computational resources. In this paper, we describe the architecture and main
features of the infrastructure.
