Abstract :
The NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and the University of Maryland Institute for advanced computer studies have deployed a pilot system for managing distributed IP-based storage area networks of dynamically allocated SAN extensions in the advanced virtual engine test cell (AVETEC) data intensive computing environment (DICE). The system implements the framework for managing inter-site storage area networks using grid and web services technologies presented at MSST06. It includes several new components including a basic registry and a java-based command line interface. The test-bed provides some early experiences with the reliability, usability, and security of the system, as well as some performance testing of the web services.
