Hi,
I've been looking into the history of the Globus Toolkit and I've been trying
to find out why GT3 was never really used in a production environment. Could
anyone enlighten me ?
GT3 was based on OGSI (Open Grid Services Infrastructure) that was
being developed in GGF (now OGF). For a number of reasons OGSI got
deprecated soon after it got to proposed recommendation status (for
a complex number of reasons). As soon as this happened most products
that were OGSI-based moved on to WSRF (GT4) or non-WSRF solutions.
GT3, based on OGSI, never got mature enough to be used in many (or
any) production environments. Hope that helps,
Mario
