Role of DESY IT Provider(s) is Changing
All Labs IT operations will be faced with becoming only a part of a much larger computing infrastructure –
That trend started on the Local Area by experiments doing their own computing on non-mainframe infrastructure
It now goes beyond the Local Area, using a fabric of world-wide computing and storage resources
- If DESY IT’s domain were restricted to the Local Area (including the WAN POP, obviously),
- But the experiments are going global with their computing, and use their own expertise and “foreign” resources:
- So what is left to do for an IT organization?
- And, where do those experiment resources come from?
