Conclusions
- SRMs essential for shared storage resources
- SRMs essential for dealing with large files
- SRMs are needed to support local policies of grid sharing
- SRMs treat network delays similar to MSS delays
- SRMs support “streaming model” – a practical model
- SRMs – use bandwidth more effectively for file transfers from MSS under varying system and network loads
- SRMs – “pump” data in/out of a MSSs and into network as fast as systems and networks allow
- SRMs – key elements to storage sharing on grids
