The European Grid Infrastructure (EGI) is a federation of resource providers set up to deliver sustainable, integrated and secure computing services to European researchers and their international partners.
EGI does not develop the software deployed in the grid infrastructure – all upgrades and new programmes are produced elsewhere, by independent technology providers. The outsourcing of technology developments is managed by EGI.eu, the organisation established to coordinate the infrastructure on behalf of its participants.
The Technical Collaboration Board (TCB), a group within EGI.eu, manages this process. They identify appropriate technology providers to develop the required piece of software and established a business relationship with the provider through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
The following section outlines the four technology providers with which EGI is currently collaborating.
