Maybe too cutesy but what about SciberNet, SciberGrid, SciberWeb or
SciberWorld? Cross between science and cyber....
Other possibilities:
SciRes (science resources)
SciComp (science computer resources)
SciDCR (science distributed computer resources)
SciDC (Scientific distributed computing)
D-Science (Distributed computing resources for science)

If I could think like Steve Jobs I wouldn't be on this project :-)
