| 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: IBM
Description: The Globus Toolkit is available across all IBM systems running AIX or Linux. It gives IBM a comprehensive set of software for security, information infrastructure, resource management, data management, communication, fault detection and portability across a wide array of systems. IBM in 2002 created a Grid division (http://www.ibm.com/grid/) and issued a Redbook about Grid computing (http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/SG246895.html) based on the Globus Toolkit. In addition to its collaboration with the Globus Project, IBM works closely with 35 partners -- including Cisco, Platform Computing and DataSynapse -- which play key roles in helping IBM deploy Grids in the enterprise. IBM has Globus Toolkit-based offerings in the following areas: á Research Collaboration, to enable seamless sharing of large amounts of raw research data among researchers and across disciplines. á Information Accessibility (customized for life sciences, agricultural chemicals and government services), to maximize exploitation of existing data resources and assets. á Engineering Design and Collaboration (customized for the electronics, aerospace and automotive industries), to accelerate collaboration and design processes, reducing time to market. á Analytics Acceleration (customized for life sciences, agriculture and financial services), to improve the use of computing and storage resources across an organization. á Geophysical Processing and Analysis, to help enhance competitiveness and agility for upstream petroleum companies. á IT Optimization (customized for the petroleum and financial services industries), to exploit underutilized compute,storage and human resources. á Grid Innovation Workshop, to help customers understand the value proposition and potential of grid technologies by providing a detailed description of the Grid.
