8. The path toward pervasive adoption Products & Solutions Reference Designs Reference Designs Specifications & Standards Architectures & Best Practices Requirements & Use Cases

9. The case for standards collaboration • Opportunity to make significant progress on industry standard grid computing • Must address how we describe, discover, access, monitor, manage, account and charge for resources • Magnitude and scope of the work is greater than any one standards organization – requires collaboration • Related work is already carried out in other standards bodies • Collaboration is everyone's best interests “It takes a community to raise a global grid”

10. Grid Standards & Alliances • GGF • Research and Industry, use cases, architectures and specifications (OGSA, OGSI/WSRF) • DMTF • Distributed Mgt. standards and models (CIM) • OASIS • eBusiness & Web Services Management (WS-RF, WS-Notification, WSDM, …) • EGA • Promote and grow Enterprise grid computing • IETF • Internet architectures & specifications (SNMP, SMI) • W3C • Web Services architectures and specifications • SNIA • Advance the adoption of storage networks as complete and trusted solutions"

12. OGSA provides the blueprint • OGSA - the framework for creating, managing, & delivering interoperable grid services • OGSA v1.0 available as informational document today • Companion OGSA Use Case document v1.0 and Glossary document, Cataloging Provisioning VO Mgmt Context Services Integration Policy Mgmt Access Information Services Data Services Context Services Info Services Data Services Trouble- shooting Event Mgmt Discovery Logging Execution Mgmt Services Execution Mgmt Services Infra Services Application Mgmt Workflow Mgmt Workload Mgmt Execution Planning Job Mgmt WSRF WSN WSDM Naming Infrastructure Services Rsrc Mgmt Services Self Mgmt Services Reservation Configuration Deployment Provisioning Security Services Resource Mgmt Services Heterogeneity Mgmt Authentication Self Mgmt Services Optimization Authorization Service Level Attainment Security Services Integrity QoS Mgmt Boundary Traversal

13. “Blueprint” defines requirements & priorities for specifications/standards • Good progress happening in many areas: • OGSA v1.0 published, v2.0 in planning stages • WSDL 1.2 in progress in W3C • WS-Agreement draft in GGF • WS-DM, WSRF, WSN drafts in OASIS • OGSA Data Access & Integration in GGF • WS-Security specifications in OASIS • SAML & XACML in OASIS • But more work is still to be done

14. Standards and Specifications enable reference designs, products and solutions • Today • Mix of application-specific code, “off the shelf” tools and services from Globus, Condor, UNICORE, startups, established IT-vendors and others in Grid community • Glued together by application development and system integration • Soon • Broader open source implementations, increased opportunities for startups and more investment by IT-vendors

15. We are somewhere around here Realistic Expectations 2003 2004-5 ~ 2006-7 Scientific/ Technical Grids 2004 2005-6 ~ 2007-8 Commercial/ Enterprise Grids Early Deployments Momentum Building (Proven Solutions) Broad Adoption

18. EGA Participants

19. EGA Technical Scope • Grid computing in Enterprise data centers • Not desktop grids • Within or between Enterprise legal entities • Not dynamically defined virtual organizations • For Enterprise applications • Commercial and Technical Enterprise applications: General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Portfolio Modeling, Supply Chain Simulation • Not scientific computing or academic research applications

20. EGA Technical Strategy • Attack the problem in phases • Begin new phases every 12-18 months • No clear cessation of phases, rather an evolutionary continuous extension • For each phase • Determine availability of existing technologies and standards • Develop proofs of concept, demos • Profile solutions • Communicate requirements to relevant industry organizations • Develop specifications and reference models where needed • Three phases

21. Phase 1: Core Capability • Core Commercial Enterprise applications only • Not Technical Grid applications • Applicable to every Enterprise • Validate that basic support is possible now, encourage or develop needed specifications ensuring openness • Capability within a single Enterprise only • Not between Enterprises • Focus on a data center, but include interaction with other data centers first for availability and then for load balancing and cooperative processing • Interoperation between vendors, within a data center

22. 2004- 2005 EGA Core Capability Between Enterprises Internet Within an Enterprise Intranet Commercial Enterprise Apps ERP, CRM, BI Technical Enterprise Apps Modeling, Simulation

23. Phase 2: Include and Extend • Include support for Technical Grid applications • Enables Technical Grid processing when Commercial applications don’t need the resources • Off hours capacity encourages development of more Technical Grid applications, packaged applications arise • Boundary between application types begins to blur • Extend multiple data center support to other organizations • Message passing applications such as supply chain, trading applications • RPC calls between applications • Grids between Enterprises begin to interoperate

24. 2005- 2006 2005- 2006 Include and Extend Between Enterprises Internet 2004- 2005 Within an Enterprise Intranet Commercial Enterprise Apps ERP, CRM, BI Technical Enterprise Apps Modeling, Simulation
