Grid business models
Three business model categories:1. Common use of resources and IaaS– Enable high performance computing:
• Through access to external HPC resources• Through creating internal GRIDs based on existing company
resources
2. Collaboration and resource sharing (VO)– Enable and support efficient inter- and intracompany collaboration
• Establishment of virtual organization• Data and resource sharing
3. XaaS (e.g. SaaS, PaaS)– Moves from a fixed to flexible cost models (pay-per-use model)
• The Service Oriented Architectures or the component-based development along with new models for provisioning of their services such the pay-per-use or SaaS

Preferred Business Models of 25 BEs
Short term
Long term
• Category 1: Common use of resources and IaaS
• Category 2: Collaboration/ VO
• Category 3: SaaS

Grid computing benefits and costs for the end user (demonstrated by BEs):
Potential gains:• Significant task acceleration• Increased flexibility and
scalability• Lower IT infrastructure and
maintenance costs• Conversion of fixed to variable
costs• Competitive advantage
Potential costs:•The application grid enablement / switch to pay per licenses•Connection and communication costs•Investment in new monitoring tools and employee training•Change process•Higher requirements related to security and privacy aspects
Demonstrated examples of Grid benefitsCancer treatment: time for treatment calculations from 193 to 4 hours
Ship building: computing time for fire simulation from one month to one day

Challenges and changes required to apply high performance computing and
external utility computing
• The usage of HPC or IaaS (clouds) require Grid enabled applications
• The choice of external utility computing providers and the establishment of contractual relationships
• Mayor legal aspects
• Changes in IT governance
Contracts and SLAs
Liabilities of
Grid/Cloud providers
Security issues
Privacy
Taxation

Conclusions
“… Cloud Computing not only overlaps with Grid Computing, it is indeed evolved out of Grid Computing and relies on Grid Computing as its backbone and infrastructure support. The evolution has been a result of a shift in focus from an infrastructure that delivers storage and compute resources (such is the case in Grids) to one that is economy based aiming to deliver more abstract resources and services (such is the case in Clouds)”. (Foster et al., 2008)
•This evolution supported by BEs
•Strong interdependence between utility computing and SaaS providers (e.g Grid-enabled applications)
The needs of utility computing and SaaS providers meet on cloud
