Service Grid A set of Grid Service Containers (GSC) managed by a Grid Service Manager (GSM). The containers host various deployments of Processing Units, Data Grid. Each container can be run on a separate physical machine. Key sentence: A set of managed containers hosting Processing Unit Deployments |
A Service Grid composed of a Grid Service Manager which manages 3 Grid Service Containers
|
Grid Service Manager (GSM) A Service Grid component. Manages a set of Grid Service Containers (GSC). Deployments to the containers are done through the manager, which monitors running deployment. Key sentence: A manages all the running containers in the network and deploys processing units to them |
Grid Service Manager

Grid Service Container (GSC) A Service Grid component. Hosts processing instances, which are deployed to it using the GSM. The GSM monitors all the GSC on the network. The GSCs in turn provide to the GSM information about the machine on which they run (OS, processor architecture, current memory and CPU stats), the software installed on it (JVM version for example) and the status of processing unit instances which are running on it. Key sentence: A set of managed containers hosting different Processing Unit Instances |
