Abstract

In Taiwan, a community of educational and research organizations interested in Grid computing technologies founded a Grid computing platform, called Taiwan UniGrid. Taiwan UniGrid consists of three primary portions: Computational Grid, Data Grid, and Web Portal. In this paper, we present the development of a virtual data storage system for Taiwan UniGrid. In addition to developing basic data storage functions, we identify three main requirements of the current development: high-performance data transfer, data sharing and single sing-on. For these requirements, we come up with three corresponding features in our data storage system: Self-Adaptation for high-performance data transfer, forming user groups and specifying admission control for data sharing, and adopting GSI authentication to enable single sing-on. Besides, we also develop a Java-based graphic user interface of the storage system that allows Grid users to manage data transparently as using local file systems.
