SynfiniWay is middleware with which a virtualised IT framework can be created that provides a uniform and global view of resources within a department, a company, or a company with its suppliers.〔R. Henry, P. Lagier, D. Plaindoux. (FSE Grid Middleware: Collaborative Grid Environment for Distributed Computing ), ''FSTJ'', vol. 40, no. 2, pp. 269–281, Dec. 2004.〕 This virtualised IT framework is service-oriented, meaning that applications are run as services, which are a system-independent view of applications. Several applications can be linked in a workflow, and data exchange between the applications participating in the workflow is implicitly managed by the IT framework. SynfiniWay is platform-independent, allowing almost any distributed heterogeneous platform to be linked into its virtualised IT framework. ==IT framework== A virtualised IT framework is implemented with SynfiniWay by installing a component with specific software agents on each of the systems in the framework. There are three major types of components in SynfiniWay:〔(White Paper on SynfiniWay )〕 * Director, which manages end-user connection, authentication & authorisation, and workflow task scheduling and execution. * Service Manager, which publishes and runs services on behalf of users and which executes data migration. * Acquaintance Manager, which links one remote network, known as a SynfiniWay neighborhood, to another to allow resource discovery and file transfer between components residing in different neighbourhoods. All components are based on Java, so that they can be deployed in a multi-platform environment. An example framework with two neighbourhoods is shown in the figure. Adding or removing components is automatically detected by the framework. The SynfiniWay meta-scheduler automatically adjusts to changes in Service Manager or service availability. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「SynfiniWay」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
