Barriers to Broader Adoption • Sustainability of e-Infrastructures has not been clear • Advances in ICT have matched data analysis needs • Computation beyond the desktop is still very hard • Service offerings do not match needs of new users • Value, benefits and costs need to be exposed For multi-year projects this is a risk – addressed partially by EGI ESFRI and related projects will push these boundaries Virtualisation and new computing models will simplify this task Meet needs through a flexible federated production infrastructure Compare costs & features of public & commercial offerings Vision for European DCIs
