Links to Industry and BusinessCompanies have been involved in the Hungarian Grid projects since 2002 but 2004 was a real turning point in Hungary considering the industry and business aspects of the Grid and the relationship of Hungarian companies to the Grid. Compaq Hungary Ltd. was involved in the SuperGrid project in 2002-2003 but their participation was rather formal. In 2004 HP Hungary showed real interest in participating in the newly launched NKFP Grid project and they want to play a leading role in the project. Sun Hungary Ltd. participates in the JGrid project and supports the Hungarian ClusterGrid activity. They helped NIIFI to participate in the international Grid R&D activity of Sun Microsystems. Although IBM Hungary did not participate directly in any Hungarian Grid projects they have sponsored several Grid-related events in Hungary and they have expressed their interest in future Grid activities as well. T-Com, the largest Hungarian telco, has been showing significant interest in Grid technology since April 2004. They contracted SZTAKI to create their Grid prototype system by the end of 2004. Comgenex Ltd., a biotechnology company, is also interested in applying Grid technology to support their molecule development and production system. Together with SZTAKI they started an R&D Grid project in 2005 funded by NKTH. T-Com and AAM are interested in the integration of data mining and Grid technologies. They formed a R&D consortium with SZTAKI and Univ. of Szeged in 2005 to start an R&D Grid project funded by NKTH. MGKK has organized a Grid Dissemination Day jointly with the Association of the Hungarian Industrial Companies (IVSZ). The main subject of the meeting was the discussion of the proposal for a national Grid programme written by MGKK (as it was mentioned before). The representatives of IVSZ welcomed the proposal and expressed a great lot of interest. Future ActivitiesThere is no official national roadmap for Grid-related activities in Hungary at the moment but members of MGKK work together with high-rank officers of IHM and directors of the Hungarian Telecom in order to develop a long-term Grid vision for the Country and to guarantee that Grid-related activities will go on in an organized and coordinated manner in the whole country. The future activities will be based on the current Hungarian Grid infrastructure, the European Grid infrastructure efforts (mainly EGEE and SEEGRID activities), the current Hungarian Grid projects that are connected with European Grid projects as well as some further extensions of the industrial, business and governmental applications. The vision is that three production Grid infrastructures will be built and maintained in Hungary:
All these will be interoperable forming together the overall Hungarian Grid system. The Hungarian ClusterGrid infrastructure will basically provide services for universities basically during the night and the weekends. The EGEE-based HunGrid infrastructure basically will serve the large research projects of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and the universities and it will operate continuously 24 hours per day. The SETI-like infrastructure will be used both for industrial and academic projects. A unified Grid portal like the P-GRADE portal can hide the Grid details from the end-users and these Grids can work in a transparent manner for the end-users. We have done the first steps towards industrial and business Grid systems. Currently Sun Hungary, HP Hungary and Hungarian Telecom show significant interest to continue R&D activity in this field and produce commercial Grid services. The current results of the JGrid, SuperGrid and Hungarian Grid projects represent a good starting point for such industrial and business Grid systems. Hungarian Telecom is particularly engaged in establishing a Grid-based service in the country in the long-term. The European results should be actively included into the future plans of Hungarian Grid activities as it was done in the past. We are particularly interested in using the results of the EGEE and CoreGrid projects in the future Hungarian Grid systems. Annex: ProjectsThe table below summarizes projects related to Grid which have been funded by Hungarian funding agencies. It is necessarily a partial list, due to the different funding sources.
