> Dear Rich,
>
> On behalf of the UltraLight Collaboration, we would like to express
> our interest in participating in the Internet2 Workshop Series for
> Tier-3 Data/Networking Requirements.  As you know, UltraLight works in
> cooperation with several research and education networks including
> Internet2 and National Lambda Rail (as well as several others
> internationally).
>
> The issues facing Tier-3s (ease of data access & transfer,
> cost-effective & high-performance storage, etc) are very real, and
> UltraLight is researching and developing end-to-end Network and
> Application services to facilitate Tier-3 data analysis. We would be
> very interested in presenting the role of UltraLight in addressing the
> issues facing Tier-3s and what the Tier-3s can expect from UltraLight
> Services.  For example, UltraLight is working to research and develop
> end-to-end Clarens web-services which will enable multiple users to
> work (virtually) side-by-side and collaborate in their data analysis
> activities.

> With kind regards,
