EU-IndiaGrid
From EGI Knowledge Base
EU-IndiaGrid is the European project that has established and currently maintains e-Infrastructure ties with the Indian generalized Grid infrastructure. Among the partners of the project are the Indian NREN (ERNET) and the Indian NGI (GARUDA). EU-IndiaGrid is formally supported by the Indian Government, as witnessed by a letter sent to Ms Reding (EC) by the Indian Government Principal Scientific Advisor, Dr Chidambaram.
In addition to extensive dissemination and training activities, EU-IndiaGrid has set up a testbed running applications from several scientific communities, and has reported on its interoperation efforts in the context of many collaborative and standardization / interoperability events. The work has produced some specific requirements which would benefit interoperation between the European gLite middleware and the Indian middleware.
The project would envision extending the collaboration with standards bodies and projects such as (a possible continuation of) OMII-Europe by implementing these requirements (either directly or in an effort mediated by EGI), and in general to continue and ideally stabilize the elements which maintain the current EU-India Grid relationship.
