knowledge and data management

Overview The Grid is an infrastructure that enables the sharing of geographically dispersed computing resources. It has been used for many large-scale scientific projects with new business applications on the horizon. Many of these applications utilizing the Grid are expected to generate enormous amount of data, and there is an imminent need for enhanced mechanisms for utilizing the necessary distributed storage resources. The Data Grid is a middleware solution that addresses the issues particular to operating very large, heterogeneous, distributed storage facilities. This paper identifies functional requirements for the Data Grid and examines and compares three Data Grid solutions: Globus Toolkit, Avaki Data Grid, and the Storage Resource Broker.
