XtreemOS (EU contribution: €14.2m), aims to extend the open source operating system Linux with grid services and support for virtual organisations. BREIN (EU contribution: €6.6m), adapting grid technologies from academic environments to support critical applications for logistics management at airports. Between 2002 and 2006, the commission has invested about €130m in grid research and €250m in grid deployment.
