Dynamic and scalable storage management architecture for Grid Oriented Storage devices

<15> This paper proposes a new Dynamic and Scalable Storage Management (DSSM) architecture for Grid Computing. Most of currently deployed Grid systems employ hierarchical or centralized approaches to simplify system management. However, these approaches cannot satisfy the requirements of complex Grid applications which involve hundreds or thousands of geographically distributed nodes. The decentralized architecture of DSSM avoids the hierarchical or centralized approaches of traditional Grid architectures, eliminates large-scale flat flooding of unstructured P2P systems, and provides an interoperable, seamless, and unbounded storage pool in a Grid environment. The DSSM architecture is validated by a proof-of-concept prototype system.
