What is a Grid ?
I don’t know, but…
“Context, Not Products, Defines Grid Computing” Gartner, 2004
This is a Grid !

• Access: transparent, remote, secure, wireless• Sharing: enable collaboration over the network• Failover: migrate/restart applications automatically• On Demand: get resources, when you need them• Productivity: more work done in shorter time• Virtualization: access compute services, not servers• Heterogeneity: platforms, OSs, devices, software• Resource Utilization: increase from 20% to 80+%• Virtual Organizations: build & dismantle on the fly
Grid BenefitsDepartment, Enterprise, and Global Grids
Grid Computing: Competitive Advantage for N.C.
• Rapidly process and solve problems beyond an individual organization's capacity
• Leverage very powerful but inexpensive networked resources
• Connect and share computing resources seamlessly - regardless of system type or physical location
• Reduce IT costs• Access disparate data across multiple domains• Enhance Education, R&D and Business processes• Create innovative products and services• Reduce design time and time to market• Increase quality (reduce defects)• Accelerate product development (e.g. drugs)

Technology
However, There is Still a Long Way to Go !
Grids are over-hyped: currently, they promise much more
than they can really offer.
Grid technology is far from mature and complete.
Grid standards are (mostly) still missing.
Grids are very complex IT infrastructures.
Grids bring new challenges: sharing resources, loosing
direct control, security, intellectual property, legal, social,
political issues . . .Therefore, MCNC - GCNS !

GCNS Mission Advance education, innovation and economic
development
throughout North Carolina by delivering next generation information technology that enables the academic, research, government
and business communities
to discover, create, share and apply knowledge.
Higher Education Grid Constituencies
• Chancellors/Presidents: University Outreach
• CIO’s: Providing and running IT infrastructure
• CRO’s, Deans, Key faculty: Education and Research
• Students
Chancellors/Presidents
• Play key important role in NC further education and economic development
• Improve global competitive position of NC universities
• Offer the best infrastructure for research and education
• Become early part and active participant in the next-gen Advanced Internet
CIO’s
• Offer service-oriented IT architecture (hide complexity)
• Enable much more efficient resource management
• Balance resource utilization within and across Campuses
CRO’s, Deans, Key Faculty
• Offer and use larger and richer set of resources
• Develop, provide, and use more powerful tools for joint research collaborations
• Enable researchers to concentrate on research (and not on the resources)
Core Strategy Components
• Briefing key constituencies about Grid Computing• Train key IT and research staff• Develop joint Graduate/PhD program• Build and use NC Grid as foundation (think globally, start
locally)• Grid-enable existing resources and join the NC Grid• Offer training to users to grid-enable applications• Work with users to port applications to the NC Grid• Start QuadA project with partners

So, are there really any working Grids out there?
•Yes!….In North Carolina even…
+ Wachovia+ NC BioGrid+ SCOOP+ EPA
NC BioGrid
One of the nation’s first grid test beds for computing, data storage and networking resources for life sciences research
• Installed in Summer 2002, heterogeneous hardware and OS platforms
• More than 80 organizations
• Dedicated systems for testing grid middleware and developing grid applications for bioinformatics
• Spans multiple administrative domains with systems located at MCNC, NC State, UNC-CH & Duke
• Established a Certificate Authority
Established to research and implement new grid computing technologies that will enable researchers and educators throughout North Carolina to take full advantage of the genomic revolution
.
SURA SCOOP South-eastern Coastal Ocean Observing Program
The Challenge: - More than half of the nation's tidal shores home to 80 million people - coastal zone is undergoing environmental and ecological changes - threaten the sustainability of the region's economies and marine resources
The Solution: - develop a Grid of sensors and linked computers - fully integrating several observing systems in the southern region - provide data, in real-time and at high speed, for more reliable, accurate and timely information To help guide effective coastal stewardship, plan for extreme events, facilitate safe maritime operations, and support coastal military security.
• And, how about other states?
• Grid Development efforts announced in•Colorado•West Virginia•Louisiana•Texas•Virginia
