• 30 Jun 2006: GRIA 5.0 is now available for download.

  To better support many deployment scenarios, in this release GRIA has been split into four packages:

  • The basic application services package allows an organisation with cluster computing facilities to provide data storage and processing for trusted users (using applications installed on the cluster).
  • The service provider management package adds support for service level agreements to manage and if necessary bill for service usage, via a simple management protocol that can be used with other (non-GRIA) application services, if required.
  • The client package allows users to access GRIA application services via simple desktop applications, including negotiating with service management facilities (if present), and provides a simple application programming interface (API) for development of integrated applications that use such services, if required.
  • The client management package adds support for organisation-level management of service users, including authorised sign-off of service level agreements and centralised control and monitoring of which users can procure and access services.
