What is grid computing?
• Different meaning to different people• Sharing of resources (computing, storage, sensors)
between users from different organizations• Enabling an environment for execution of complex
applications• Integration of heterogeneous systems• The foundation for collaborative research –
eInfrastructures• Primarily scientific use
– The foundations for the e-Science– With great business potential

Roads ahead
• Different views and visions
• Different interest groups
• Sharing common goal – computing anywhere, anytime
• Main directions
– Community grids
– Agent based grids
– Cloud computing

Community grids
• … in the past– Seti@Home
– Folding@Home
• World Community Grid– Launched 2004
– Based on cycle stealing
– Different from the past (no single problem commitment)
– Project approval done by advisory board

Agent based grids
• “Back to the basic idea”
• Agent +ontologies
• Resource brokerage based on sound business rules and principles
– Commercial exchange of resources
– Yellow pages, bargaining, service level agreements, penalties …

Cloud computing
• Different (and often not so similar) definitions
• Commercial, very restrained form of grid computing
• Remove the computing out of the boundaries of the companies, into the area known as “the cloud”.
• Computing on demand– Virtualization and provisioning of computing and storage
– Lacks support for advanced workflows, VOs
– User to service over public network

Challenges
• Sustainability – Project based financing
• Current status“Better tools for understanding failures and increasing reliability”“Policy, support, security, QoS”
(SUPER study, UK)
• Major issues: grid interoperability– Many, non interoperable middlewares
• Efforts to mitigate the problem– EU grid interoperability– InterGrid

Grid@MK
• MARGI – Macedonian Academic and Research Grid Initiative– UKIM is a founding member
• Member of the European Grid Initiative – EGI• Previous projects
– SEE-GRID series (3 FP projects, total 6 years)
• Current projects– EGI InSPIRE– HP-SEE– SEERA-EI

Business opportunities
• Apply greater computational power to a task and enable greater utilization of available infrastructure
• Enables cost savings in the IT departments of companies due to reduced total cost of ownership (TCO)
• Enables greater scalability of infrastructure by removing limitation inherent in the artificial IT boundaries existing between separate groups or departments
• Results in improved efficiency of computing, data and storage resources
• Furthermore enables a more efficient management of distributed IT resources of companies
• In combination with Utility Computing, Grid Computing enables the transformation of capital expenditure for IT infrastructure into operational expenditure and provides the opportunity for increased scalability and flexibility.

Business challenges
• Considerable change in processes but also in the mindset of involved people.
• The transformation of the existing scattered IT infrastructure into a Grid alone is not sufficient. In most cases, considerable investments need to be made for adjusting existing applications
• Lack of standards for Grid Computing makes investments decisions for Grid technology difficult and risky
• Security and privacy issues• Long-term project, not an overnight solution.
