> > | Grids enable the sharing, selection, and aggregation of a wide variety of geographically distributed computational resources (such as supercomputers, compute clusters, storage systems, data sources, instruments, people) and presents them as a single, unified resource for solving large-scale compute and data intensive applications. This idea is analogous to electric power network (grid) where power generators are distributed, but the users are able to access electric power without bothering about the source of energy and its location. | |||||||

Grid4All embraces the vision of a democratic Grid as a ubiquitous utility whereby domestic users, small organisations and enterprises may draw on resources on the Internet without having to individually invest and manage computing and IT resources. | |||||||

> > | As part of our involvement to Grid4All, we have developed DFS. DFS is our proposal for a data storage substrate. In our design, we clearly separate File and Storage resources. The storage management is provided by the Virtual Block Store (VBS), which is an independent layer, but one that uses the generic interfaces and protocols of the DFS.
DFS PrinciplesThe DFS Architecture is based on the following principles:
