Brief description
As the IT landscape changes, so too do the challenges facing diverse types of organisations. OGF-Europe aims to address these challenges in relation to setting standards for Grid technology and related distributed systems such as virtualisation, automation and service orientation. Furthermore, OGF-Europe will mobilise and expand the Grid European community of researchers, developers, providers, and end-users in both the public & private sector. OGF-Europe will be essential in bringing enterprise and eScience communities together to break down barriers and foster mainstream Grid adoption. Main objectives were to: • Increase Grid adoption in the eScience and enterprise communities and forge greater collaboration between the two communities. • Synchronise requirements across key stakeholder communities, through stronger engagement from Europe. • Accelerate end-user adoption. • Ensure that standards developed are catered to European real-world requirements. • Value the significant innovation in Grid computing that Europe has built so it may be more influential and better recognised globally.
