Short- to Medium-Term Managed virtualized batch

environment adapting dynamically to changing workload (private cloud, transparent to users)

Globally Exchange virtual machines between HEP sites

Devolve management of job scheduling to experiments

– They know best the relative priorities of the competing analysis groups—and how they change

Interface to commercial clouds, either

– as part of overall policy for resource provisioning, or

– to handle completely unforeseen peak loads

Medium- to Long-Term Cloud environment for all
