The first Access Grid at RIT was started
by Research Computing in 2006 in
CASCI, the Center for
Advancing the Study of CyberInfrastructure. The Access Grid is a research
project originally funded by DoE and managed by Argonne National Labs. It
is an open, media rich environment that is used by over 200 registered sites worldwide
today. The ICE (Interactive Collaboration Environments) Lab in CASCI
is currently building out a number of Access Grid nodes at RIT as well as integrating other collaboration technologies into an advanced collaboration infrastructure for RIT.
