Instant-Grid – A Toolkit for Demonstration, Test and Development of Grid-Infrastructure

Abstract

Instant-Grid provides an environment for demonstration, test and development of grid applications. Using a Live-CD approach, cluster configuration and deployment of D-Grid compatible middleware is fully automated. The default installation of Instant-Grid results in a set of ready-to-use grid functionalities, which can be accessed in a beginner-friendly way via a web portal. It also includes a number of preconfigured applications, which demonstrate the uses and benefits of the grid
