Description
The EGEE grid infrastructure has grown over the 30
months of EGEE and EGEE-II from around 40 sites to
close to 200. It is now in daily use on a significant
scale, and is acting as the primary source of computing
and storage for several application communities.
Although this growth has been impressive, with the
LHC coming on-line a year from now the scale of
resources and workload is expected to increase
dramatically. This is an appropriate time to review the
progress that has been made in building this large
production grid facility, its relationship with other
production grids, to summarize the outstanding issues,
and to look forward to the problems and issues we may
be facing in the future - both in the short term and on
the slightly longer timescale.
