  2. EGEE 1st EU Review - Feb 2005

  3. iSGTW – 5 November 2008 http://www.isgtw.org/?pid=1001436

  4. Business opportunities Sell Computing-on-Demand (CoD) to the small and medium sized companies that explore the earth’s depths (ie. expand the market for Geosciences services) Sell geosciences processing services on demand to the small companies that explore the earth’s depths (Expanding-Geosciences-On-Demand) COD and EGEODE services

  5. COD and EGEODE servicesBenefits: Process data quicker EGEODE VO X

  6. COD and EGEODE servicesBenefits: Provides access to the most advanced software

  7. COD and EGEODE servicesSWOT Diagram Helpful Harmful • The EGEODE service is user-friendly and can be accessed anywhere • The Grid-computing is a scalable architecture and processes data faster • The data can be replicated • The EGEODE service allows for collaborative platforms • Good market and technical knowledge in the Oil & Gas and Grid technology domains • The reliability and security of the data must be proven • Internet speed is not homogeneous and is shared with other users • Network bandwidth is still an issue Internal Origin • Customers might prefer certified solutions by ISV, or could keep their current solutions • Competitors could develop new services that would target the same segment • The Oil and Gas environment is constantly under pressure • The demand for exploration & geosciences services is increasing • The competitors underserved the SME segment External Origin

  8. Worker nodes (WNs)‏ Worker nodes (WNs)‏ COD and EGEODE servicesExample of Global Architecture Site 3 CE WNs VOMS/WWW/GGS/flexlm RB/LFC /BDII XPS UI UI Intranet CE CE SE SE Private network Private network (Management node) ‏ (Management node)‏ Site 1 Site 2

  9. COD and EGEODE servicesServices/Machines/Sites • Service/Machine list in the Site 1 • UI (User Interface with remote visualisation system/portal?) • RB/LFC/BDII (Resource Broker/Metadata catalog/global Information system) • CE (Computing Element) • SE (Storage Element) • WNs (Worker Nodes minimum one machine‏) • VOMS/GGS/WWW/Flexlm (Virtual Organisation Mgmt, GeoGrid Server, Web server and Flexlm server) • XPS (Seismic meta data server) • Service/Machine list in the Site 2 • UI (User Interface with remote visualisation system/portal?) • CE (Computing Element) • SE (Storage Element) • Wns (Worker Nodes minimum one machine) • Service/Machine list for desktop • CE (Computing Element) • Desktop will be Wns at night (or in shared time) • automatic reboot each night with SL • or install gliteWns packages on RHEL (like)

  10. COD and EGEODE services1Tb between 2 points theoretical Experimental

  11. Data Network Cpu *2 18 m 12 m 6 months COD and EGEODE servicesNetwork Issues • Network bandwidth • Lack of network infrastructure • At international scale • Affordable • For Industry usage => tape copy +

  12. Questions and concerns • User community • Learning curve is still significant • Instabilities after updates (too frequents) • MPI integration • Resources reservation (or allocation for // apps) • Command line (no simple or basic graphical interface for job submission and file management) • gLite • Consortium • gLite and the EGI/NGIs model – Specialized Support Centers organization and funding • Roadmap (who are the users, requirements) Report on ES family of applications and their requirements: http://www.eu-degree.eu/ • Support and maintenance • License (Apache?) • From R&D project to standardization and industrial product
