VOCE---A Grid Environment for Central Europe
2006
Grids are distributed computing and storage systems with
immense potential. However, this potential is usually not fully
used, as the Grid systems are very complex, not easy to deploy
and even harder to efficiently use. A lot of training is needed
both for systems administrators and end users to deploy the
full Grid potential and to provide a really efficient
environment that helps end users to solve their problems. Also,
the overhead to set up and maintain a Grid is not negligible
and smaller user communities usually do not have nor the man
power nor the knowledge to do it properly. This paper provides
an overview of VOCE---a Virtual Organization (VO) for Central
Europe (CE). VOCE is an application neutral virtual
organization for Central Europe. It offers its users---CE
researchers---a complete set of Grid services. Grid novices can
use the VOCE environment to get their first experience with a
production level Grid environment, to undertake their initial
training and to continue within the same environment for their
actual work. Small scientific communities can use VOCE as their
primary Grid environment, being freed from the burden of
managing their own VO.
