OneCommunity, Case Western Reserve University, and Grid Dynamics, Inc. are conducting a joint pilot project during the Spring Semester (February – May) 2007. The goal of the pilot is to validate Grid Dynamics’ initial product offering, IT On Demand Exchange, and joint business model that makes it possible for the consumer and organizations of OneCommunity to access computational resources from a shared, managed pool.

The IT On Demand Exchange Model

[edit] Pilot

We are currently seeking test users for the system for the Spring 2007 semester. These users will be offered Grid Dynamics services free of charge for the duration of the pilot. At the conclusion of the pilot, you will have the opportunity to continue services with Grid Dynamics but a continued relationship is certainly not required nor expected. There are a wide variety of potential services available to you as a Case Western Reserve University affiliate. These services include but are not limited to:

• Websites for Course work, Departmental Task, Group Study, Professor Communication
• Application Hosting of Open Source applications and other low cost license apps
• Database Hosting for applications using MySQL and Oracle Application Express
• Remote File Storage with access via WEBDAV, FTP, and HTTP

If you do not see the service that you are interest in list above it does not mean that we are not interested in hosting it. We probably just have not thought of it. To register for this pilot, use one of the contact methods to your right to start the process.
