How does it change my life ??

• Remote facilities (big or small)

• - file transfer and registration work allows moving data-sets with error recovery (no need to “pet” the transfer)

• - GridCollector does not require you to know where the files are, nor does the Scheduler (eliminate data placement task)

• - Grid enabled cluster bring ALL resources at reach

• Every day work

• - May not like it but … mind set change : collection of data (will fit some analysis, some not)

• - Transparent interfaces and interchangeable components (long term)

• - Hopefully more robust systems (error recovery already there)

• Any other reasons ??

• - The Grid is coming, better get ready and understand it …
