IBM Case Study: AIST (National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science & Technology)

Overview The Challenge for AIST, Japan's largest national research organization needed to provide an on-demand computing infrastructure, which dynamically adapts to support various research requirements of its collaborators focusing in areas of grids, life science, and nanotechnology. The Globus Toolkit 3.0 ensembles heterogeneous and geographically dispersed computing resources, such as servers, storage and data, to create an adaptive and secure system, which allows researchers to collaborate through these shared Grid resources.
