Reality Check:The Gartner Hype Cycle


The Hype Is Over!

• I'm glad!• Now we can get down to the serious work of focusing on

key goals for grid use and adoption

• Strong world-wide community!• Thought Leadership Series launched• Collaborations launched• In-depth workshops point to many attractive areas

for important work• For both research and industrial application

• Standards are starting to be adopted• HPC Basic Profile, JDSL, BES -- others in pipeline

• OGF-Europe funded!


The Hype Is Over!

• Keeping OGF on a solid technical and financial foundation required a hard look at:• Who exactly is our core constituency?• Why do they needs grids?• What do they want from OGF?• What approach should OGF take as an organization

with infrastructure and staff to address the needs of our core?

Evolutionary Pressures on OGF

• Nurture the community…• Good events on hot topics

• … while nurturing key efforts that produce high impact results• For example, HPC-BP

• Let a thousand flowers bloom…• Broad community support and innovation

• … but put the fertilizer where it really seems like it will do the best• During the peak of the hype phase, we could do anything

• But to achieve the Plateau of Productivity, we must carefully balance a thousand flowers and focused efforts.

• Play to our strengths• Seek natural adjacencies for the development and use of grid technology

• An OGF "Manifesto”• A Vision/Mission Statement of who we are and what we want to be
