Abstract
NorduGrid offers reliable Grid services for academic users over an increasing set of computing & storage resources spanning through the Nordic countries Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. A small group of scientists has already been using the NorduGrid as their daily computing utility. In the near future we expect a rapid growth both in the number of active users and available resources thanks to the recently launched Nordic Grid projects. In this paper we report on the present status and short term plans of the Nordic Grid infrastructure and describe the available and foreseen resources, Grid services and our forming user base.
