Abstract
The Grid Appliance is a self-configuring virtual, physical, and cloud appliance that is used to create ad-hoc pools of computer resources both within a local-area and across wide-area networks. It is used primarily to execute high-throughput, long-running jobs and to create virtual clusters for education and training.
Intellectual Merit
The Grid Appliance research will provide knowledge of grid configuration and automated resource management.
Broader Impacts
The Grid Appliance provides easy-to-access and hassle-free customization grid resources to researchers, scientist or instructors worldwide.
Scale of Use
A few VMs for testing Grid-appliance configuration
Futuregrid is a resource provider for
