GILDA (Grid INFN Laboratory for Dissemination Activities) is a virtual laboratory to
demonstrate/disseminate the capabilities of grid computing as well as to train new
users/system administrators willing to start their grid experiences on gLite and
other middlewares.
The laboratory is currently formed by several grid sites (currently a dozen, managed
on voluntary basis), central grid services, and a series of facilities which helps
users to get started with grid understanding and use.
Because of this consolidated infrastructure, it has been chosen by several EU-related
projects as the infrastructure to carry out training activities. Taking into account
the requirements of ICEAGE, GILDA also supports several other middlewares besides
gLite (currently GT4, OMII-UK, and UNICORE).
