  1. Industry Standards – Invited Talk Mark Linesch Chairman, Global Grid Forum Bernd Kosch Board Member, Enterprise Grid Alliance GGF12 Brussels, Belgium September, 20 2004

  2. Agenda • Perspectives • The Role of Standards • Enterprise Grid Alliance • Summary/Q & A

  3. Grid computing Utility computing Enterprise computing Enterprise Dilemma Overlapping concepts and terminology … • But …. common and compelling themes • Improve linkage between business and IT • Respond quickly to changing business opportunities and threats • Lower costs through increased automation and improved utilization

  4. Utility-like Virtualized Consolidated Enterprise Data Center Journey Network Fabric Management Fabric Systems Fabric Storage Fabric

  5. Process People Technology Financial Journey is not just a technology adoption issue Process People Technology Financial

  6. Standards provide the “Glue” and “Grease” for industry adoption “Glue” (Completeness) “Grease” (Pervasiveness) • Richer, more comprehensive solution stacks • Larger pool of trained, available expertise • More choice with greater availability • Stability to invest with industry leverage

  7. Agenda • Perspectives • The Role of Standards • Enterprise Grid Alliance • Summary/Q & A

  8. The path toward pervasive adoption Products & Solutions Reference Designs Reference Designs Specifications & Standards Architectures & Best Practices Requirements & Use Cases

  9. The case for standards collaboration • Opportunity to make significant progress on industry standard grid computing • Must address how we describe, discover, access, monitor, manage, account and charge for resources • Magnitude and scope of the work is greater than any one standards organization – requires collaboration • Related work is already carried out in other standards bodies • Collaboration is everyone's best interests “It takes a community to raise a global grid”

  10. Grid Standards & Alliances • GGF • Research and Industry, use cases, architectures and specifications (OGSA, OGSI/WSRF) • DMTF • Distributed Mgt. standards and models (CIM) • OASIS • eBusiness & Web Services Management (WS-RF, WS-Notification, WSDM, …) • EGA • Promote and grow Enterprise grid computing • IETF • Internet architectures & specifications (SNMP, SMI) • W3C • Web Services architectures and specifications • SNIA • Advance the adoption of storage networks as complete and trusted solutions"

  11. Managed shared virtual systems Research Open Grid Services Arch Real standards (GGF: OGSI/WSRF, leveraging OASIS, W3C, IETF) Multiple implementations Web services, etc. Globus Toolkit Internet standards Defacto standard Single implementation Developing Grid Standards Increased functionality, standardization Custom solutions 1990 1995 2000 2005 2010 Source: Ian Foster - foster@mcs.anl.gov

  12. OGSA provides the blueprint • OGSA - the framework for creating, managing, & delivering interoperable grid services • OGSA v1.0 available as informational document today • Companion OGSA Use Case document v1.0 and Glossary document, Cataloging Provisioning VO Mgmt Context Services Integration Policy Mgmt Access Information Services Data Services Context Services Info Services Data Services Trouble- shooting Event Mgmt Discovery Logging Execution Mgmt Services Execution Mgmt Services Infra Services Application Mgmt Workflow Mgmt Workload Mgmt Execution Planning Job Mgmt WSRF WSN WSDM Naming Infrastructure Services Rsrc Mgmt Services Self Mgmt Services Reservation Configuration Deployment Provisioning Security Services Resource Mgmt Services Heterogeneity Mgmt Authentication Self Mgmt Services Optimization Authorization Service Level Attainment Security Services Integrity QoS Mgmt Boundary Traversal

  13. “Blueprint” defines requirements & priorities for specifications/standards • Good progress happening in many areas: • OGSA v1.0 published, v2.0 in planning stages • WSDL 1.2 in progress in W3C • WS-Agreement draft in GGF • WS-DM, WSRF, WSN drafts in OASIS • OGSA Data Access & Integration in GGF • WS-Security specifications in OASIS • SAML & XACML in OASIS • But more work is still to be done

  14. Standards and Specifications enable reference designs, products and solutions • Today • Mix of application-specific code, “off the shelf” tools and services from Globus, Condor, UNICORE, startups, established IT-vendors and others in Grid community • Glued together by application development and system integration • Soon • Broader open source implementations, increased opportunities for startups and more investment by IT-vendors

  15. We are somewhere around here Realistic Expectations 2003 2004-5 ~ 2006-7 Scientific/ Technical Grids 2004 2005-6 ~ 2007-8 Commercial/ Enterprise Grids Early Deployments Momentum Building (Proven Solutions) Broad Adoption

  16. Agenda • Perspectives • The Role of Standards • Enterprise Grid Alliance • Summary/Q & A

  17. Enterprise Grid Alliance • Consortium of leading vendors and customers • Incorporated as a non-profit corporation • Open, independent and vendor-neutral • Any company can join - no admission barriers • No one controls, each company gets one vote • Tactical focus with 6 month timelines and goals • 5 working groups, no research groups • Promote and grow Enterprise Grid computing

  18. EGA Participants

  19. EGA Technical Scope • Grid computing in Enterprise data centers • Not desktop grids • Within or between Enterprise legal entities • Not dynamically defined virtual organizations • For Enterprise applications • Commercial and Technical Enterprise applications: General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Portfolio Modeling, Supply Chain Simulation • Not scientific computing or academic research applications

  20. EGA Technical Strategy • Attack the problem in phases • Begin new phases every 12-18 months • No clear cessation of phases, rather an evolutionary continuous extension • For each phase • Determine availability of existing technologies and standards • Develop proofs of concept, demos • Profile solutions • Communicate requirements to relevant industry organizations • Develop specifications and reference models where needed • Three phases

  21. Phase 1: Core Capability • Core Commercial Enterprise applications only • Not Technical Grid applications • Applicable to every Enterprise • Validate that basic support is possible now, encourage or develop needed specifications ensuring openness • Capability within a single Enterprise only • Not between Enterprises • Focus on a data center, but include interaction with other data centers first for availability and then for load balancing and cooperative processing • Interoperation between vendors, within a data center

  22. 2004- 2005 EGA Core Capability Between Enterprises Internet Within an Enterprise Intranet Commercial Enterprise Apps ERP, CRM, BI Technical Enterprise Apps Modeling, Simulation

  23. Phase 2: Include and Extend • Include support for Technical Grid applications • Enables Technical Grid processing when Commercial applications don’t need the resources • Off hours capacity encourages development of more Technical Grid applications, packaged applications arise • Boundary between application types begins to blur • Extend multiple data center support to other organizations • Message passing applications such as supply chain, trading applications • RPC calls between applications • Grids between Enterprises begin to interoperate

  24. 2005- 2006 2005- 2006 Include and Extend Between Enterprises Internet 2004- 2005 Within an Enterprise Intranet Commercial Enterprise Apps ERP, CRM, BI Technical Enterprise Apps Modeling, Simulation

  25. Phase 3: Unify and Complete • Unify Grid computing within and between Enterprises • True cooperative processing, not just message passing • Dynamic capacity addition: Virtually extend the data center • Final capacity on demand capability delivered • Complete support for all Enterprise applications • In all configurations, inside the data center and outsourced to data center providers • Complete interoperation between Enterprise Grids • Final computing-as-a-utility model begins to emerge

  26. 2007- 2008 Unify and Complete Between Enterprises Internet 2005- 2006 2005- 2006 2004- 2005 Within an Enterprise Intranet Commercial Enterprise Apps ERP, CRM, BI Technical Enterprise Apps Modeling, Simulation

  27. Alliance Values: Time to Market • Alliance delivering first detailed Enterprise use cases in 3-4 months • Will contribute use cases to GGF and provide feedback on OGSA • Don’t want to reinvent anything • Pursuing liaisons with all relevant standards organizations • Prefer to find and adopt existing solutions

  28. EGA EMEA Regional Steering Committee (ERSC) • Announced today • Consists of Sponsor members that have special interest or focus in the EMEA region • Recruit membership in EMEA • Promote Alliance objectives and activities in EMEA • Drive standards adoption in EMEA • Liaison with relevant EMEA organizations • For more information: www.gridalliance.org
