Description
EGEE (Enabling Grids for eScience) operates a large scale production
Grid infrastructure federating over 250 sites from 45 countries
world-wide providing over 45000 CPUs and about 15 PB of disk storage to
a wide variety of scientific applications. In this talk we review the
challenges and successes of EGEE in building, operating, and evolving
the Grid infrastructure and highlight a few example applications. In
the second half of this talk we will discuss future directons of Grids
in Europe, in particular how National and Regional Grid Infrastructures will pave the way to the sustainable provision of production Grids.
