Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA)

Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA) is a framework that standardizes how different computing resources—such as servers, storage, and applications—work together over a network. It enables disparate systems to share, coordinate, and manage resources efficiently, creating a unified environment similar to a virtual cloud. By using common protocols and interfaces, OGSA makes it easier for organizations to access and utilize complex, distributed computing resources reliably and securely, supporting large-scale scientific research, data processing, and enterprise applications.
