GridWorld/GGF15 Community Activity: Provisioning & Managing
Switching Infrastructure as a Grid Resource Abstract: Previously, most of the focus in grid technologies has been on distributing compute power across multiple machines. With the entry of grid technologies into commercial and enterprise environments, there is a need to provision and manage switching infrastructure as a grid resource and to dynamically provision network environments to meet the grid application scenarios/requirements. The session will address the following: * How the hardware infrastructure and specifically network and SAN switches can be abstracted as grid resources * Modeling of the switching infrastructure and the network/SAN topologies * Integration of switching in the overall grid resource management framework * How switching infrastructure can be virtualized to dynamically form different network topologies and relations, including practical examples * Using InfiniBand-enabled switches to virtualize the server networking environment * Grid-enabled switches and using WS-RF API for grid-enabled switches Attendees will learn how switching can be integrated as part of the grid framework and how switches can be provisioned as another element in the grid resource framework.
