Description

QosCosGrid is a research project providing Grid solutions for parallel and complex-systems workload. At EGEE-08 Istanbul, we have been presenting a concept how QosCosGrid capabilities can be used to enhance gLite / EGEE capabilities and reachout by adding new types of user groups and workload types. That’s great but not enough to work with industry and commerce! Observing the markets closely, we believe there is growing demand for “real Grid solutions in industry. But how to follow up on industry and commercial use cases - production=non-research usage - given the regulatory restrictions of academic environments? QosCosGrid is tackling that problem by founding a charitable association, guaranteeing the sustenance of the technological solution and bridging between academic technology and industry usage. Although surely starting with QosCosGrid technology, the charitable association is planned open to include and embrace more technologies and foster and facilitate their usage in academia and industry. How about facilitating joint gLite/QosCosGrid deployments for industry? This is an invitation – at least for discussion!
