Description
EGEE (Enabling Grids for eScience) operates a large scale production Grid
infrastructure federating over 250 sites from 52 countries world-wide
providing over 70000 CPUs and about 20 PB of disk storage to a wide
variety of scientific applications. In this talk we review the challenges
and successes of EGEE in building, operating, and evolving the Grid
infrastructure and highlight a few example applications. In the second
half of this talk we will discuss future directions of Grids in Europe, in
particular how National Grid Infrastructures will pave the way to the
sustainable provision of production Grids.
