INFN Grid

INFN Grid

The INFN Grid project was the general container used by INFN—Italy's National Institute for Nuclear Physics—for its grid computing initiatives. Its goal was to develop and deploy Grid middleware services to allow INFN's various user communities to transparently and securely share the available computing and storage resources together with applications and technical facilities in the context of worldwide scientific collaborations.

With the beginning of the EGI project in 2010, the activities of INFN Grid were consolidated into the Italian Grid Infrastructure (IGI) which operates as a European Joint Research Unit (JRU) formally supported by the Italian Ministry for University and Research (MIUR) and the European Commission.
