Benefits

SFA Wrap makes your life easy

• It lowers the barriers for your testbed to enter into the global SFA federation
• SFA-enables your testbed by providing the web services interface, it handles the coding and parsing, and many other details
• Enables you to join dozens of testbeds worldwide that are adopting SFA and benefit from mutualised drivers, documentation and support services.

SFA provides a secure, distributed and scalable narrow waist of functionality for federating heterogeneous testbeds. However, there are barriers to entry to using SFA: a testbed owner would normally need to implement the certificate-based authentication and authorization mechanisms used by SFA; also, they would need to write coders and parsers for files that describe the resources on their testbed; this can be laborious.

By adopting SFA through the SFA Wrapper you can, not only offer your testbed through a global,testbed federation, but also benefit from the tools and controls the SFA federation offers.
