[edit] Project Description

OneCommunity, Case Western Reserve University, and Grid Dynamics, Inc. are conducting a joint pilot project during the Spring Semester (February – May) 2007. The goal of the pilot is to validate Grid Dynamics’ initial product offering, IT On Demand Exchange, and joint business model that makes it possible for the consumer and organizations of OneCommunity to access computational resources from a shared, managed pool.

The IT On Demand Exchange Model

Utility Consumers	= Case Students and Faculty
Utility Provider	= OneCommunity
Exchange Operator	= Grid Dynamics, Inc.

[edit] Pilot

We are currently seeking test users for the system for the Spring 2007 semester. These users will be offered Grid Dynamics services free of charge for the duration of the pilot. At the conclusion of the pilot, you will have the opportunity to continue services with Grid Dynamics but a continued relationship is certainly not required nor expected. There are a wide variety of potential services available to you as a Case Western Reserve University affiliate. These services include but are not limited to:

Websites for Course work, Departmental Task, Group Study, Professor Communication
Application Hosting of Open Source applications and other low cost license apps
Database Hosting for applications using MySQL and Oracle Application Express
Remote File Storage with access via WEBDAV, FTP, and HTTP

If you do not see the service that you are interest in list above it does not mean that we are not interested in hosting it. We probably just have not thought of it. To register for this pilot, use one of the contact methods to your right to start the process.

[edit] Project Status

The pilot is progressing using a number of machines including 5 blade servers. The IT On Demand Exchange is installed and configured on blade 4. IP addresses are reserved for 20 virtual machines. The current user of blades 7 and 8 has agreed to convert one for use during the pilot and is hoping to finish work in progress on the other to convert it for use as well. The current user has agreed to convert blades 9 and 10 for use during the pilot. A storage server with storage has been quoted and is awaiting purchase.
