GRID Definition
Resource sharing allows
collaboration, higher joint
computational power and larger total
storage capacity Virtualization
operating as single virtual machine but
on heterogeneous resources Security
authentication, authorization

GRID Applications
The development of the National GRID
infrastructure will give an important opportunity
for Ukrainian scientists to work in collaboration
and to take part in European projects. Due to the
perspective of GRID technology (not only in the
scientific projects) this experience is of great
importance. This GRID infrastructure must provide
appropriate GRID environment (a virtual space for
grid users and programmers) for collective access
to its resources and services
