Grid Middleware for Realizing Autonomous Resource Sharing: Grid Service Platform

Tags:
middleware

Overview These days, many enterprises are interested in consolidating systems to achieve more efficient operation of their IT resources. In particular, Grid techniques are attracting keen attention because distributed systems can be used collectively as a single system. The changes in load that occur during business operations cause fluctuations in the number of servers needed, and Grid systems must flexibly allocate server resources to respond to these fluctuations. Therefore, in conjunction with France Telecom, The paper has developed a middleware called Grid Service Platform (GSP) for realizing autonomous resource sharing based on the priority of business operations. The paper implemented a batch service and a real-time online service and then evaluated GSP on a testbed consisting of sites from Japan and France.
