Overview

The motto at the heart of the management facilities is

less dependencies for more management

meaning that the requirements posed to resources (even independent resources) to be managed are minimal, close to zero in some cases. All the implemented solutions have been prioritized in order to pursue this goal.

Key Features

Extensible notion of resource
a resource model which is open to modular extensions at runtime by arbitrary third parties
Transparent software resource management
management facilities request nearly zero-dependency to managed resources with lightweight integration mechanisms with existing technologies
Dynamic Deployment and Optimal Resource (re)Allocation
...
Resource lifetime management
...
Resource publication, discovery and access
...


More self-elastic management for less constraints
...
Interoperability, openness and integration at software level
third-parties software can be added to the Data e-Infrastructure at runtime, other initiatives can exploit gCube in a standard way

...

Subsystems

Data e-Infrastructure Management facilities are globally offered by a formal Resource Model and a set of software subsystems:
