Although on 30th April 2010 the BalticGrid-II project has finished, it is not the end of provision of services and infrastructure to our users. The infrastructure is in full use, our users are well aware of the services and the usage is increasing by the day - both in CPU hours and storage, as well as in number of applications.
In short: BalticGrid is in place and continues to deliver without interruption.
What's next? In parallel with keeping the quality and capacity of BalticGrid in place, we will continue to pursue the goal to involve industry. We have since the start of 2009 been experimenting with many industry related actives - through BalticCloud, BalticGrid Innovation Lab as well as many local initiatives. The results from these experiments are reflected in projects outside our region, and will now come handy for our future planning.
