Avaki: Avaki verlagert den Schwerpunkt weg von der rein
physikalischen Ebene der Ressourcen hin zur Organisation. Die Plattform
konzentriert sich auf die Integration heterogener, vernetzter
Umgebungen, wie z.B. die verstreuten Einrichtungen einer Organisation
oder mehrerer Firmen. Damit können verteilte Umgebungen einer
einheitlichen Betrachtung und Verwaltung unterworfen werden. Das hat
insbesondere für die Benutzer Vorteile, welche die verfügbaren
Ressourcen - egal wo diese sind - leichter erkennen, nutzen und teilen
können, selbst über organisatorische Grenzen hinweg.
"Avaki Corporation is making waves in grid computing - and grids at
customer sites. We're finding the more people learn about grid
computing, the more they turn to AVAKI for comprehensive packaged
software products, rapid implementation, and answers to their tough
questions. In life sciences, for example, where informatics problems
strain the most powerful servers and networks, and moving data around
can use up valuable research time, grids help researchers work faster
and make better use of existing resources. The bottom line? Faster time
to market.
Four things you should know about grids:
Grids are here today. Join our customers who are discovering that
AVAKI grid software helps them get work done faster, more easily, and at
lower cost.
Grids are not just for processing power. AVAKI's comprehensive grid
software, including data grid as well as compute grid technology,
provides wide-area access to data and applications as well as enabling
effective use of existing processing power. This means less time moving
data around, and more time getting results. Grids remove the barriers.
Whether your challenge is
heterogeneous platforms, multiple locations, separate administrative
domains, or even separate organizations, grids bring the pieces
together, creating a single, uniform environment that provides wide area
access across locations, platforms, and administrative domains. Grids
don't mean expensive custom implementation. AVAKI grid software is not a
toolkit. It's fully-functional packaged software that is rapidly
deployed, and in most cases requires no changes to existing
applications".
