3. EGI-InSPIRE Project Overview3 Overview 48 month project, 53 partners objectives –transition to a sustainable pan-European e-Infrastructure –high-performance and high-throughput computing and integration of new Distributed Computing Infrastructures (DCIs) – high performance, clouds, desktop grids –collect requirements and provide user-support for the current and new (e.g. ESFRI) users –define, verify and integrate within the Unified Middleware Distribution (UMD), the middleware from external providers; staged rollout of UMD into the infrastructure –The operational tools will be maintained and extended t to support a national operational deployment model to include new DCI technologies in the production infrastructure to extend accounting to support new EGI business models
