Technologies powering the grid 2012

The workhorses of the IBM grid infrastructure
are the grid engines
desktop PCs, workstations or servers
that run the UNIX, Microsoft
Windows or Linux operating systems
. These compute
resources execute various jobs submitted
to the grid, and have access
to a shared set of storage devices.
The IBM Grid Offering for Risk
Management and Compliance
relies on grid middleware from
DataSynapse to create distributed
sets of virtualized resources.
The production-proven, awardwinning
DataSynapse GridServer
application infrastructure platform
extends applications in real time to
operate in a distributed computing
environment across a virtual pool of
underutilized compute resources.
GridServer application interface modules
allow risk management and
compliance applications and nextgeneration
development of risk management
and compliance application
platforms to be grid-enabled.
IBM DB2 Information Integrator
enables companies to have integrated,
real-time access to structured
and unstructured information across
and beyond the enterprise. Critical to
the grid infrastructure, the software
accelerates risk and compliance analytics
applications that process massive
amounts of data for making
better informed decisions. DB2
Information Integrator provides
transparent access to any data
source, regardless of its location,
type or platform.
