Techila (earlier known as Techila Grid) is a commercial distributed computing middleware and management solution. It provides scalable performance to applications by enabling scalability across computing resources. The solution creates a computing service and execution environment, which is self-managing, based on autonomic computing. Techila is developed and sold by Techila Technologies Ltd, a privately held company headquartered in Tampere, Finland. According to IDC, the solution enables organizations to create HPC infrastructure without the major capital investments and operating expenses required by new HPC hardware. ==Product features== Techila is a distributed computing middleware and management solution, which can be used to access and manage IT resources for various high-performance computing (HPC) computing uses, including high-throughput computing (HTC) scenarios. The Techila technology is built on a (patented ) autonomic computing architecture. The architecture has enabled features such as life-cycle management, self-configuration and self-healing, which simplify the deployment and operation of large-scale distributed computing systems. The basic idea of Techila is to create a scalable computing service and execution environment for applications with a workload, which can benefit of distributed computing. Common examples of workloads which are ready for distributed computing are embarrassingly parallel problems, such as parametric sweeps and simulations using Monte Carlo methods. The Techila solution does not set limitations to the physical location of computing resources used. The (Product Description ) of Techila lists three supported infrastructure designs: * An infrastructure, which consists of on-premises resources. * An infrastructure, which is built entirely in a cloud * A hybrid infrastructure, which combines on-premises resources and resources from clouds. The Techila technology started initially from the vision of grid computing and has evolved to a distributed computing middleware and management solution, which enables easy and secure utilization of available computing resources. Techila comes with productized support for many commonly used computing languages and environments. Techila has also an open application programming interface for applications developed by independent software vendors and systems Integrators. Techila offers also tools, which enable automated setup, integration, and management of cloud-based resources. Techila was (demonstrated ) by a research team at the University of Helsinki in 2011 as being capable of providing autonomic management to computing environments of large numbers of Windows Azure cloud instances. The University of Helsinki has also demonstrated Techila's ability to enhance the usability and utilization of large-scale (cluster resources ) in projects implemented using MATLAB, R, Python, Java, and C/ C++/ C#. In a Techila system, computational resources can be arranged into device groups for organizational, security, and administrative control. Despite its performance in large-scale systems, it is also suitable for smaller environments such as the (TUTGrid ) which utilizes the idle capacity of desktop PCs and other computers at Tampere University of Technology (TUT) for scientific computing. The Techila solution security was evaluated by (Nixu ) Ltd in 2008. Nixu is Finland's largest specialist company in information security consulting, many global corporates as customers. After this, Techila has been (accepted ) by security-sensitive industry sectors, such as Finance and Insurance, Manufacturing and Pharmaceutical. 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「Techila Grid」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
