Abstract

In this paper, we present a new virtualization strategy for grid called grid discovery zone (GDZ). The virtualization ability of the GDZ is used to exploit the resource utilization and scheduling, easy management and isolation for users in cluster or grid environment. We describe the infrastructure and architecture of GDZ in this paper, which uses Solaris Zone, Sun Grid Engine, Sun Studio 12, JES portal server, ZFS, and other Sun related technologies and product. Using the infrastructure of GDZ, many applications in different industries can be discovered in a single multi-core machine or grid/cluster consisting of multi-core nodes. The load can also be optimal balanced in the GDZ using the powerful resource control and scheduling ability of Solaris Zones and Sun Grid Engine.
