2. 29th June 2006 Middleware Roadmap - GridPP3 Outline GridPP3 Goals for MSN Software for exploitation Areas –Data Management –Storage –WMS, Portal, R-T Map –InfoMon –Security –Networking

3. 29th June 2006 Middleware Roadmap - GridPP3 MSN Goals GridPP1 Prototype testbeds & prototype code GridPP2 Production develop & deploy GridPP3 Exploitation support & maintain Important –interoperability with peer grids –gradual transition to common standards –…and fix the holes ! Criteria –mission critical –support UK products… our contribution to the wider picture –where leverage is high
