EGI-InSPIRE RI ERIC Survey Results A common e-Infrastructure ERIC proposal –Better than ERIC’s for HPC, networking, data, …? Lightweight coordination of the infrastructure –Not focusing on equipment purchase A subset of current participants would be OK –Not all NGIs will be able to commit to an ERIC Submission in 2013 –Need more discussions and consensus building Future Plans - EGI-InSPIRE Review /05/2011

EGI-InSPIRE RI ERIC: Next Steps e-Infrastructures to national governments –Good investment towards sustainability Discuss common e-Infrastructures ERIC Dialogue with EC RTD ERIC Helpdesk Move D2.11 PM17  PM29 More details: MS212: 30/05/2011 Future Plans - EGI-InSPIRE Review

EGI-InSPIRE RI Expected Business Model Operating Business to Business (B2B) –Services to resource providers (NGIs/EIROs) –Services to virtual research communities These organisations linked to customers –Similar model as the networking community 30/05/2011 Future Plans - EGI-InSPIRE Review

EGI-InSPIRE RI NGI Business Model Many on short-term recurring project funding –Public funds from research councils 60% of the NGIs are not independent entities –Instead hosted within a larger parent organisation 30/05/2011 Future Plans - EGI-InSPIRE Review

EGI-InSPIRE RI VRC Business Model Challenging for traditional EGI communities –Medium & smaller VRC: usage decreasing Larger EGI communities –Leveraging NGI based resources VRC needs: –Access to resources through services (EGI.eu) –Coordination services to build communities (EGI.eu) –Integration of resources EGI (VRCs with local NGIs) –Domain specific middleware & applications (VRC) 30/05/2011 Future Plans - EGI-InSPIRE Review

EGI-InSPIRE RI VRC Support Strategy EGI VRC User Support Platform –Embeddable centrally provided services –Easy to adopt in NGI or VRC portals –Central services provide network effect Share services, applications and tools –Developed by EGI VRCs for EGI VRCs –Reuse & adapt the work of others Open process seeded by NA3 & SA3 Future Plans - EGI-InSPIRE Review /05/2011
