EGEE - Enabling Grids for E-Science

An European project to provide researchers with access to a grid, i.e. a geographically distributed large-scale computing infrastructure.

• Integrates 71 leading institutions in 27 countries

  Leverages numerous national/regional grid activities world-wide.

• Operates in conjunction with the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid Project (WLCG) at CERN.

  Provides the computing infrastructure for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

• Provides a production grid distributed over more than 200 sites around the world.

  More than 30,000 processors and 20 PB of data storage.

• Virtual organizations (VOs) group users and institutions to limit access to resources.

  VO: an administrative domain for a real organization or a project.
