Abstract:
Grid computing allows you to unite pools of servers, storage systems, and networks into a single large system so you can deliver the power of multiple-systems resources to a single user point for a specific purpose. To a user, data file, or an application, the system appears to be a single, enormous virtual computing system. The major purpose of a grid is to virtualize resources to solve problems. The main resources grid computing is designed to give access to include (but are not limited to):
• Computing/processing power
• Data storage/networked file systems
• Communications and bandwidth
• Application software
Since the concept of putting grids into real-world practice is still relatively new, another good way to describe a grid is to describe what it isn't. The following entities are not grids:
• Cluster
• Network-attached storage device
• Scientific instrument
• Network
Each might be an important component of a grid, but by itself, doesn't constitute a grid. So, what does it take to make the vision of the grid-computing concept a reality? It requires standard and seamless, open, general-purpose protocols and interfaces, all of which are being defined now and are similar to those that enable access to
