Enabling Grids for E-sciencE INFSO-RI EGEE Tutorial, Melbourne, EGEE Virtuous Cycle
Enabling Grids for E-sciencE INFSO-RI EGEE Tutorial, Melbourne, The t-Infrastructure Why t-infrastructure? –e-Infrastructure for production –t-Infrastrcuture for training Need guaranteed response for tutorials; limit the vulnerability of production systems –use training grid –have training CA –able to change middleware to prepare participants for future releases on production system Also: –need safe resources for installation training –easy entry point for new communities
