Abstract

In the original language

Grids are distributed computing and storage systems with immense potential. However, this potential is usually not fully used, as the Grid systems are very complex, not easy to deploy and even harder to efficiently use. A lot of training is needed both for systems administrators and end users to deploy the full Grid potential and to provide a really efficient environment that helps end users to solve their problems. Also, the overhead to set up and maintain a Grid is not negligible and smaller user communities usually do not have nor the man power nor the knowledge to do it properly. This paper provides an overview of VOCE---a Virtual Organization (VO) for Central Europe (CE). VOCE is an application neutral virtual organization for Central Europe. It offers its users---CE researchers---a complete set of Grid services. Grid novices can use the VOCE environment to get their first experience with a production level Grid environment, to undertake their initial training and to continue within the same environment for their actual work. Small scientific communities can use VOCE as their primary Grid environment, being freed from the burden of managing their own VO.
