Abstract
This paper presents the Network Storage Manager (NSM) developed in the Distributed Computing Laboratory at Jackson State University. NSM is designed as a Java-based, high-performance, distributed storage system, which can be utilized in the Grid environment. NSM architecture presents a framework offering parallelism, scalability, crash recovery, and portability for data-intensive distributed applications. Unlike several parallel research efforts, this paper introduces an architecture that is independent of systems and protocols. Therefore, the system can run in a typical heterogeneous Grid environment. We illustrates how NSM incorporates Grid-FTP and GSI authentication. We also provide a brief evaluation of the system performance.
