To all who responded to my email regarding grid computing with VDT, we are very thankful. If you have further comments/suggestions/questions, feel free to add :-)
We actually don't have a clear idea (yet) to what extent we need grid services and components and we are still trying get our toes wet. But in the long run I believe we will really need tools like VDT. So I guess we will do both approaches: use VDT as well as learn which parts we actually need and try to make our own (ad hoc?) solutions.
By the way, our work is primarily on computational high energy physics (very detailed experiment simulation and data analysis). Even for our immediate needs we already need considerable computing resources (which we don't have at the moment) so any tool that will allow us to optimize our use of these (currently meager as well as future) resources will be very welcome.
Thanks,
Allister
