European Grid InitiativeTowards a Sustainable Production Grid Infrastructure NGI Status Report Diana Cresti, INFN EGI Workshop Munich, 26-27 February 2007
Introduction • Countries reported on the state of their NGI & views of an EGI • NGI questionnaire conducted during summer 2006 • These are preliminary findings, and cannot replace interactive exchange of information • 30 countries replied; near unanimity on forming an EGI • Full report is being published now:https://edms.cern.ch/document/804043/1/EGEE-II-NA5-DNA5.1-804043-v3.doc EGI Workshop - NGI Status Report

PartA Is NGI Separate Legal Entity? • Bulgaria Yes; Italy under negotiation; • Germany – not a legal entity but a Project • Others are not separate legal entities, but are part of: See handout Table 2 EGI Workshop - NGI Status Report
PartB National Grid Project – Target Areas EGI Workshop - NGI Status Report
Caution: please check data ahead… • Online tool was not interactive, but this workshop is • Some ambiguity in questions opportunity here to clarify • NGI status evolving rapidly most data from July 2006, and not updated since then • These data are invaluable, well worth “getting it right” EGI Workshop - NGI Status Report
PartC NGI Financial Status • What is the total amount of local financing up to now (in M€)? • 19 responses, ranging from 0.1 to 20+ • Mean 3.96, Median 1.00 • Some examples: • Bulgaria (NGI since Sep ‘02): < 1 Million • Netherlands (NGI in steps, since ‘02): 1 going to >30 • Portugal (NGI since Apr ‘06): 3.5 M€, till now, plus 5M€ for the next 3 years • What is the annual budget (in M€ / year)? • 9 responses, ranging from 0.3 to 16+ • Mean 4.56, Median 1.50 • Some examples: • Finland: over 16 M€ turnover (excluding investments) • Sweden: 1 EGI Workshop - NGI Status Report

PartA Other Functions / Stakeholders Other proposed functions of EGI - some brief quotes: •Cross country efforts / collaboration between NGIs; •Service for major new infrastructures (ESFRI); •Relationship with e.g. GEANT/DANTE; •Provision of guidelines / specification of cleaner & more atomic interfaces •Political support for NGIs / unified interface to EU bodies; •Establish a “business” scheme (tokens to use facilities); See handout Table 4 Other stakeholders besides proposed set (NGIs, user communities, EC) - some brief quotes: •The research community; •e-IRG; possibly CERN; •National funding agencies / Ministries See handout Table 5 EGI Workshop - NGI Status Report
Conclusions & Next Steps • Commonality of vision with respect to EGI • Move beyond questionnaire format Interactive knowledge base • NGI definition vs. actual status • Sustainability: a work in progress • 22 application areas (at least) • NGIs are coming together as we speak the time is right for EGI EGI Workshop - NGI Status Report
