Clustering the Reliable File Transfer Service
نویسندگان
چکیده
As grids move from prototypes to testbeds to production infrastructure, grid resource providers are faced with the challenge of delivering reliable services to enable productive use of available resources. On high performance, distributed grids such as the TeraGrid, moving large data sets to, from, and between supercomputing resources requires reliable data management services. The Reliable File Transfer (RFT) Service in the Globus Toolkit Version 4 (GT4) provides this capability on the TeraGrid and other grids. We present modifications to RFT to support clustering to achieve high availability in the presence of server failures, based on a standard Web service tiered architecture, leveraging the capabilities of modern database systems. Clustering distributes the RFT service across multiple tightly coupled servers so that RFT can continue to provide service even when individual components fail.

The success of the Internet is due to best-efforts delivery which allows for easy expansion, coupled with a congestion-adaptive reliable transport protocol (TCP), which serves well for the delayinsensitive traffic of Web browsing or file transfer. There are several new proposals for handling Quality of Service (QoS) for real-time and multimedia traffic, but their introduction is slow. The scale...

In this paper, we discuss reliable and secure file transfer middleware called NaradaBrokering. It is our goal to show that reliability features can be decoupled from the implementation of the service and protocol, and instead placed into the messaging substrate. This will allow us to provide file transfer quality of service comparable to GridFTP in other file transfer tools (such as normal FTP,...

متن کاملGridFTP and Parallel TCP Support in NaradaBrokering
Many of the key features of file transfer mechanisms like reliable file transferring and parallel transferring are developed as part of the service. It makes very hard to re-use the same code for the different systems. We are trying to overcome this disadvantage by decoupling useful features of file transfer mechanisms from the implementation of the service and protocol, and instead placed into...
متن کاملReliable File Transfer in Grid Environments
Grid-based computing environments are becoming increasingly popular for scientific computing. One of the key issues for scientific computing is the efficient transfer of large amounts of data across the Grid. In this poster we present a Reliable File Transfer (RFT) service that significantly improves the efficiency of large-scale file transfer. RFT can detect a variety of failures and restart t...
