CLCAR 2009 – Merida - Venezuela – The Latin American Grid Infrastructure - GridLGI GridLGI is composed, from bottom to top of three layers, each of them including Grid and Network components: –At the lower Institute level:  The Resource Centre (RC) is the actual site of the Grid computing resources;  The backbone LAN or MAN network connects the Computing and Storage Elements (CE & SE) at the RC site; –At the intermediate national level:  The National Grid Initiative (NGI) integrates all Grid Institutions in the country and federates under its Grid Operation Centre (GOC) all their RCs in a National Grid (GridNGI);  The underlying National Research & Education Network (NREN) links country-wide the Research and Education Institutes and optimizes / monitors their network activity via its associated Network Operation Centre (NOC); –At the upper international layer:  The Latin American Grid Initiative (LGI) which brings together all NGIs and supervises the various GridNGIs operation from its Grid Support Centre (GSC);  CLARA: it is the WAN network which integrates the Latin American NRENs and supervises the overall RedCLARA network activity by means of its Network Support Centre (NSC). 26
