Avanade’s current Grid offeringIntroduction, accomplishments and evolution
Avanade Grid ArchitectureWhat’s in the box» Delivers an Object Oriented framework that easesthe development of tasks that can be run by adistributed architecture (Windows/.Net, Linux andSun Solaris/Java)» Leverages Microsoft .Net security strength (i.e. CodeAccess Security, WS-Security, PKI, etc.)» Offers a set of APIs for scheduling, controlling andcorrelating tasks» Includes tools for monitoring and administering theGrid infrastructure (Web and Windows based)8 2007 Avanade Inc.

Avanade Grid ArchitectureReferencesFinancial Services» Consorzio Monte dei Paschi di Siena» Includes various financial institutions, and has significant marketshares in all the sectors in which it operates. MPS Bank is theflagship of the MPS Group, leading the domestic market in terms ofmarket share.» It was one of the first institutions in the world to implement a SOAarchitecture and to provide web services to their customers.» Runs a Grid based on AGA counting more than 200 nodes, mixedbetween Windows (about 130 nodes) and Linux (about 70 nodes),counting over 600 CPUs» Executes more than 7.000 unique jobs each day, including missioncritical jobs: Basel II Compliancy, Risk Management Assessment9 2007 Avanade Inc.

AGA evolutionNext steps» Within organization boundaries» Enable coordination of separated local grids for international andmulti-site companies through gLite standards» Enable interoperability between grids based on differenttechnologies (Linux, Windows, CCS)» Enable usage of “best-fit” grid architecture based on applicationrequirements, leveraging gLite scheduler component» Cross organization boundaries» Extends the SaaS (Software as a Service) approach to computingpower» Enable cooperation between companies, by the usage of a commonstandard, provided by gLite middleware15 2007 Avanade Inc.

EGEE and Avanade collaborationMutual ‘win-win’ and EGEE benefits
AGA and gLite middlewareSpace for collaboration» AGA is currently a custom internal Grid» AGA fulfills computational needs of mostorganizations, but not all» Avanade’s next challenge is to enableinteroperability with major standards» gLite standards are on the right way to facinginteroperability challenges» gLite currently lacks .Net support, so allorganizations that invested in .Net and Windowstechnologies are not currently evaluating it17 2007 Avanade Inc.

EGEE and Avanade collaborationBenefits summary for EGEE» Windows Platform Support» Computing Elements based on AGA are, mainly, Windowsmachines» Full .Net support» AGA defines elements not found in other Grid implementations(i.e. Code Access Security, PKI, )» Enterprise Case Study» gLite APIs will be adopted by any Avanade customer that adoptsAGA, as production level and mission critical infrastructure19 2007 Avanade Inc.
