RSS grid environmentsPerspectives on Grid: Virtualization as a Foundation for SOA Environments - Synergies, Alignment, and the Relationship Between SOA and Infrastructure Virtualization
White Paper In this paper, Matt Haynos provides a cursory analysis of the similarities and differences between grid computing and SOA and infrastructure virtualization techniques. SOA and infrastructure virtualization techniques are highly synergistic. [30 Apr 2008]
Perspectives on Grid: An Overview of WebSphere Extended Deployment - Examining WebSphere XD as an Integrated Grid Platform for SOA and Infrastructure Virtualization Environments
White Paper In this paper, one will get an overview of WebSphere Extended Deployment and how it can help the organization realize a dynamic, goals-driven grid infrastructure built on virtualization and which is ideal for SOA environments. [26 Apr 2008]
Scalable Windows Servers for the Data Center
White Paper In some cases, customers will choose to link multiple servers with clustering or grid software to support a given workload. Workloads such as business intelligence, database, decision support, and ERP applications - which are already available for... [26 Apr 2008]
Dynamic Firewalls and Service Deployment Models for Grid Environments
White Paper However, the traditional client-server paradigm supported by most of today's firewall does not accommodate the specific requirements of novel Grid applications. This paper presents two different approaches to partially overcome the limitations in... [11 Apr 2008]
A Methodology for Account Management in Grid Computing Environments
White Paper A national infrastructure of Grid computing environments will provide access for a large pool of users to a large number of distributed computing resources. Providing access for the complete pool of potential users would put an unacceptably large... [10 Apr 2008]
Security in Multi-Domain Grid Environments
White Paper This paper focuses on the Authorisation aspects of security in grid environments spanning multiple administrative domains. The EU DataGrid project has made a comprehensive security architecture and implemented many components of this for use by all... [10 Apr 2008]
Building Performance Topologies for Computational Grids

Issues for Using Computing and Data Grids for Large-Scale Science and Engineering
White Paper While the basic Grid services have been demonstrated, e.g.in the IPG prototype demonstrated at the Supercomputing 1999 conference, and the GUSTO testbed demonstrated in 1998, a general purpose computing, data management, and real-time... [10 Apr 2008]
A Centralized Data Access Model for Grid Computing
White Paper For applications that are truly data intensive, this may render them either highly inefficient, or even incapable of using grid computing environments. Global access to storage is a common theme of Grid Computing, with access mechanisms often... [10 Apr 2008]
Distributed File System Support for Virtual Machines in Grid Computing
White Paper This paper presents a data management solution which allows fast Virtual Machine (VM) instantiation and efficient run-time execution to support VMs as execution environments in Grid computing. It is based on novel distributed file system... [22 Mar 2008]
Efficient Resource Virtualization and Sharing Strategies for Heterogeneous Grid Environments
White Paper Resource virtualization has emerged as a powerful technique for customized resource provisioning in grid and data center environments. It evaluates this approach by implementing it in the Harmony grid environment consisting of heterogeneous... [29 Feb 2008]
Towards Autonomic Grid Data Management With Virtualized Distributed File Systems
White Paper Grid data management is a challenging task because of the heterogeneous, dynamic and large-scale nature of Grid environments. This paper proposes an autonomic Grid data management architecture based on virtualized distributed file systems and WSRF... [29 Feb 2008]
User-Space Auto-Tuning for TCP Flow Control in Computational Grids
White Paper With the advent of computational grids, networking performance over the Wide-Area Network (WAN) has become a critical component in the grid infrastructure. Unfortunately, many high-performance grid applications only use a small fraction of their... [14 Jan 2008]
Statistical Service Assurances for Applications in Utility Grid Environments
White Paper Utility grid environments offer programmatic access to Information Technology (IT) resources for applications. There is a substantial literature regarding admission control, resource reservation, and scheduling in support of engineering and... [06 Nov 2007]
