  19. Sustainability Jürgen Knobloch/CERN Slide 19

  20. European Grid Initiative Goal: • Long-term sustainability of grid infrastructures in Europe Approach: • Establishment of a new federated model bringing together NGIs to build the EGI Organisation EGI Organisation: • Coordination and operation of a common multi-national, multi-disciplinary Grid infrastructure • To enable and support international Grid-based collaboration • To provide support and added value to NGIs • To liaise with corresponding infrastructures outside Europe www.eu-egi.org

  21. EGI_DS Consortium members • Johannes KeplerUniversität Linz (GUP) • Greek Research and Technology Network S.A. (GRNET) • IstitutoNazionalediFisicaNucleare (INFN) • CSC - Scientific Computing Ltd. (CSC) • CESNET, z.s.p.o. (CESNET) • European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) • VereinzurFörderungeinesDeutschenForschungsnetzes - DFN-Verein (DFN) • Science & Technology Facilities Council (STFC) • Centre National de la RechercheScientifique (CNRS) Jürgen Knobloch/CERN Slide 21

  22. EGI – European Grid Initiative • EGI Design Study started Sept 07 to establish a sustainable pan-European grid infrastructure after the end of EGEE-3 in 2010 • The main foundations of EGI are 37 National Grid Initiatives (NGIs) • Project is funded by the European Commission's 7th Framework Program www.eu-egi.org Jürgen Knobloch/CERN Slide 22

  23. EGI_DS Schedule Duration27 months: Develop EGI Proposal NGIs signing Proposal Start of EGEE-III Final Draft of EGI Blueprint Proposal Submission of EGEE-III EGI Blueprint Proposal Start of EGI Design Study EGEE-III transition to EGI-like structure EU Call Deadline for EGI Proposal EGI Entity in place EGEE-III (2YEARS)‏ EGI operational EGEE-II (2YEARS)‏ 2008 2010 2009 Jürgen Knobloch/CERN Slide 23

  24. EGI Functionality Overview • Management, Outreach & Dissemination - Representation of EU Grid Efforts • Operations & Resource Provisioning & Security • Application Support & Training • Middleware (Build&Test, Component Selection/Validation/Deployment) • Standardisation & Policies • Industry take-up Jürgen Knobloch/CERN Slide 24

  25. EGI EGI Management Structure • Political Bodies • such as: • eIRG, • EU, • ESFRI, • Ntl. Bodies, • ... StrategyCommittee EGI Council Advisory Committees Director + staff CTO (Development) CAO (Admin.+ PR) COO (Operations) Dev. Group Adm.+PR Group Oper. Group EGI Organisation www.eu-egi.org Jürgen Knobloch/CERN Slide 25

  26. Characteristics of NGIs Work in progress! Things may change! Each NGI … should be a recognized national body with a single point-of-contact … should mobilise national funding and resources … should ensure an operational national grid infrastructure … should support user communities (application independent, and open to new user communities and resource providers) … should contribute and adhere to international standards and policies Responsibilities between NGIs and EGI are split to be federated and complementary Jürgen Knobloch/CERN Slide 26

  27. EGI Operations Work in progress! Things may change! • NGIs perform operations of their national grid infrastructure, including monitoring and accounting, following a general SLA • Each NGI has full responsibility towards other NGIs but acts independently • EGI provides coordination level to guarantee effective, integrated operations through the adoption of standard services Jürgen Knobloch/CERN Slide 27

  28. EGI Resource Strategy Work in progress! Things may change! • EGI owns very few hardware resources • Resource provisioning is responsibility of NGIs  Freedom to choose whatever resources to offer • Development of a strategy for simple entry of new Virtual Organizations Jürgen Knobloch/CERN Slide 28

  29. EGI Middleware Work in progress! Things may change! • Convergence of middleware stacks towards full interoperability (through general standards interfaces) • Distinction between core and high-level functions EGI coordinates core services • Standards-compliance test for core services provided by EGI • Common build&test system needed in Europe Jürgen Knobloch/CERN Slide 29

  30. EGI Application Support Work in progress! Things may change! • Application support implemented and provided by NGIs • EGI performs coordination role • Validation of user support by NGIs • Facilitating experts between NGIs • Organization of user forums • EGI to coordinate training events Jürgen Knobloch/CERN Slide 30

  31. EGI Funding Work in progress! Things may change! • The EGI organisation has three major and separate cost centres: • general central services funded through contributions of the NGIs • service provisioning funded through service charges • Developmentsfunded through project grants • There are in general no cross-subsidies possible between these cost centres. Jürgen Knobloch/CERN Slide 31

  32. Issues being discussed • Small vs. large central EGI • Roles “core EGI” vs. NGI • Transition from a (EU) project-funded grid to self-sustained operations • Maintaining the available expertise • Choice of legal structure and location Jürgen Knobloch/CERN Slide 32

  33. EGI – European Grid Initiative • Future EGI Organisation = “Glue” between various grid communities in Europe and beyond • EGI_DS defines required mechanisms and functionalities of the EGI Organisation  Towards a sustainable environment for the application communities utilizing grid infrastructures for their everyday work Jürgen Knobloch/CERN Slide 33
