Goals
  • High Visibility Brand Name Facilities, Capabilities and Services
    • ability to project named resources to the community
    • create strong virtual identity
  • Virtually Integrated Physically Distributed Systems
    • integration via virtualized services and resources
    • need a complete and flexible model
  • End User Use Transparency
    • utilize existing use modalities and project natural extensions
  • Structured Aggregation of Systems
    • management via some hierarchical structure
  • Adoptable Administrative Model
    • techniques must map to known systems admin models
