Conclusions
Based on production-proof solutions deployed in large scale
infrastructures, EMI offers a wide range of solutions that can be
adapted to tailor infrastructures according to different
needs. Future work will address their interoperability and standard
adoptions, that will potentially extend the base of supported
communities.
Description of the work
EMI will deliver a consolidated and streamlined set of services and
components from ARC, gLite, UNICORE and dCache by
re-factoring existing components, defining and implementing standards
and phasing out duplicate or obsolete
components from the original middleware stacks. The middleware
components are divided in four areas (Compute, Data, Security,
Infrastructure). This tutorial will focus on the cutting edge EMI solutions for Data Management, dCache and SToRM.
A tutorial on the installation and
configuration of this components will be provided.
Access to virtual machines will be given,
allowing participants to perform installations by themselves.

Overview
EMI aims to deliver a consolidated set of middleware components
for deployment in Distributed Computing Infrastructures, extending the
interoperability between grids and other computing
infrastructures, strengthening the reliability of the services, and
establish a sustainable model to maintain and
evolve the middleware, fulfilling the requirements of user
communities. EMI middleware will be not build from ground, but based
on existing solutions, that will be enhanced by standards adoption and
mutual interoperability. This workshop is an opportunity for resource
providers to be introduced with main features of EMI-1 release, to
have an overview of EMI-1 related changes and its Data and Computing solutions.
Impact
The participants will get a concrete overview of EMI-1 solutions for Data management;
participants will be thus able to reproduce installation, configuration and basic usage of deployed services.
