Global Ring Network for Advanced Applications Development

The map above shows current traffic flows and traffic patterns across GLORIAD - as measured in Chicago.  In the map, triangles show source of traffic; inverted trianges, destination. Sites connected by arcs are the heavist current consumers. Colors indicate network protocols and can be discovered by the listing of top users at the right. The small charts show traffic volume by application during the last two hours. Clicking on any of them takes you to a larger display.

Project: Entropia

Description: Entropia's grid computing solutions harness and manage the untapped processing power of desktop PCs within an enterprise network to process computationally intensive jobs for business and scientific applications. Entropia's solutions benefit enterprises that deploy compute-intensive applications such as those widely used in pharmaceutical, material sciences, chemical and financial services industries. Entropia's DCGrid product line, with its easily scalable architecture and open technology platform, delivers computing capabilities that meet or exceed the power of high performance compute clusters -- at a fraction of the cost. Existing proprietary and commercial applications can be deployed on the DCGrid platform quickly and easily using DCGrid's rapid integration features which allow enterprises to achieve business objectives faster, with higher throughput, increased precision and more meaningful results in less time than previously possible. Ultimately, DCGrid solutions enable new and more difficult problems to be solved -- problems enterprises previously simply didn't have the computing power to attack.
