Linux-based XtreemOS Goes Up Against Globus Toolkit for Grids

The EU 6th Framework Program project XtreemOS is using Linux to compete against US-based Globus Toolkit for the de facto standard spot in the next generation of Grid technologies, said the Community Research & Development Information Service (Cordis). “The XtreemOS system will offer an alternative to the Globus Toolkit, which is currently the most widespread middleware system for managing computational grids despite its complexity,” said project coordinator, Christine Morin. Grid connects distributed IT hardware into a virtual machine. The XtreemOS system is eyeing Asia’s market too.
