e-Infratructure - Beyond Transport

• It’s more than just a Network• It’s enabling global collaboration• It’s facilitating use of remote

instruments• It’s facilitating sharing of data• It’s joint capabilities for storing and

processing• It’s all the resources for global e-

Science

e-Science

• e-Science is by nature collaborative• e-Science is by nature international,

often global• Well-defined groups or projects

• Specific to one science area• Small(ish) number of users• Shared resources

• Communication is mostly internal to the group or project

A Nordic Tier-1 for WLCG

• Together we can host a WLCG center

• Build a virtual computer center from a collection of Nordic resources

• Integrate on one LAN

• Make 5 countries appear as one site on the WLCG

e-Science Reuiquirements

• Sharing Scientific Instruments•Radio-telescopes, CERN, microscopes, ...•Sharing Research Infrastructure

• Sharing Large Datasets•Genome Databases, …

• Sharing Compute Resources•Large-scale computation, Simulations, Visualization, ...

• International project management

Infrastructure for e-Science

• The new e-infrastructure should offer:• Transport• Computing Resources• Storage• Databases• Authentication, Authorization,

Accounting• Dynamic resource allocation• User control

• A Collection of Capabilities

Grids and Hybrid Networks

• Facilitating e-Science collaboration• Hybrid Networks allows distribution and

sharing of resources – local & global• Grid allows researchers to take full advantage

of advanced networks and integration of capabilities

• Complimentary views• Computing as just another element in the

Hybrid Network• Transport as just another grid resource• From both points of view, Grid and Networks

belong together

Nordic e-Science Infrastructure

• Enable new ways of doing science• A Hybrid Network

• IP for the masses + OPNs for e-Science• Ability to build new networks in demand

• A Joint Nordic production Grid facility• Leveraging national grid resources• A Common Nordic Grid policy framework• Joint Nordic planning and coordination• Shared Nordic storage facility

• Co-ordinate & host major e-Science projects

Nordic Data Grid Facility (NDGF)

• A Collaborative Grid Production Facility• Do for Nordic Grid Computing what

NORDUnet has done for Networking• Single Point of Entry for collaborations and

e-Science projects• Represent the Nordic Grid community

internationally• Coordinates Nordic Grid activities and

sharing
