Description
GENIUS is a powerful Grid Portal jointly developed by INFN
and NICE srl within the INFN Grid Project . It provides to
end users secure, uniform, pervasive and ubiquitous access
to distributed, high-end computational resources, services
and applications through a standard Web browser or through a
flexible Web Services interface.
EnginFrame and GENIUS greatly simplify the use of
Grid-enabled applications and services, so they have been
adopted by several important industrial companies all over
the world and by many leading research & educational institutes.
In particular GENIUS has been installed in many EGEE sites,
with satisfaction of users and site managers and has been a
core technology in the context of the GILDA dissemination
testbed.
Based on the latest version of the EnginFrame framework by
Nice srl and thanks to work done during the last year for
supporting the latest release of the gLite middleware,
GENIUS now presents some new important features and
improvements and it is going to face key challenges as
interoperability between different flavours of Grid middleware.
