Misc. Notes
- GC/EMBL 3-4000 processors, 10s TB volume
- interested in methods for deploying software originating from scientists
- MHE/EMBL connected to outstations via VPN
- MD/PH ESO 50 TB, 150 Mbit/s, 200 processors
- ST found duplication in workflow- and portal production
current release IMI V1.1.1
- RG/ILL working on a common data format in the community; considering also HDF format or a subset thereof
- SA/ESA VPG ... Virtual Private Grid
- 5 PB of Envisat data
- GAIA expected to requie 10^21 FLOPs to process its data products
- SN WS-I+ vs. WS-RF still discussion with open outcome
- bandwidth will always be an issue
- MH idea of sending Grid consultants to the Eiroforum organizations
- ALL+JF: suggests to identify contact point in each organization that can issues certificates
