Today large-scale applications require access to data stored in heterogeneous storage systems located at geographically distributed virtual organizations. In such applications, users are forced to deal with different administrative policies and structures at each site, and various data access mechanisms on each storage system. This implies a lot of human interventions in order to develop dedicated programs and scripts for data transfer between theses systems. This paper presents GRid-enAbled Virtual file sYstem (GRAVY) architecture which enables the automation of data transfers between distributed file systems irrespective of their heterogeneity. This feature enables high-level schedulers integrated with GRAVY to control data placements like computational jobs. GRAVY supports multiple data access protocols and provides an easy-to-use interface for novice Grid users.
