Quality: • Monitoring via Nagios - distributed via official releases, configured through YAIM, integrated with other tools • Gradual implementation of Service Level Agreement with sites • Result: 85% of sites are now above the 75% availability threshold • Geographical expansion: • now have production sites all across Asia: Australia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, Taiwan, Thailand • In certification: Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam ~280 sites 45 countries >80,000 CPUs >20 PetaBytes >14,000 users >250,000 jobs/day EGEE - Bob Jones - OGF25/User Forum - 2-6 March 2009

Extendable Infrastructure EGEE - Bob Jones - OGF25/User Forum - 2-6 March 2009
Where would clouds come in? • Majority of EGEE’s CPUs are at the sites • • The interaction with site resources is ‘simple’ • In: Authorization, Compute & Storage • Out: Monitoring & Accounting • • Additional Site Requirements • VO specific site services • VO specific applications deployed to the worker nodes • • Provide classical ‘cloud’ scale out capability • Potentially, with VO specific worker nodes EGEE - Bob Jones - OGF25/User Forum - 2-6 March 2009

EGEE→EGI transition planning EGEE-III status & plans - Bob Jones – CB - 3 March 2009
EGEE→EGI transition planning • Transition plan produced in Dec’08 • This plan (DNA1.4) details the steps needed to migrate EGEE’s operation to EGI, identified major risks and open issueswith input from 19 collaborating projects. • Used as input for the final version of the EGI Blueprint endorsed by national representatives in Prague in Jan’09 EGEE-III status & plans - Bob Jones – CB - 3 March 2009
Key objectives for this event • Advance standards for production grid infrastructures • 26 OGF working groups have scheduled meetings • 11 with key input from EGEE • 3 area directors, 10 (co-chairs) • All EGEE members are linked to at least one user community • Bring the users needs to the standards table • Learn from each other • Cross-fertilisation between communities/VOs/applications • Take European grids to the next level • Advance with the planning of EGI and the transition from current projects Take time to enjoy each others company and beautiful Sicily EGEE - Bob Jones - OGF25/User Forum - 2-6 March 2009
