RISVG: Resource information system for virtualization enabled grid

Virtualization begins the platform for creating desired resources as demanded by the users. Using virtualization technology, customization of desired grid environment becomes possible and thus helps in providing a scalable solution to grid community. Recent trends of adapting this feature in grid computing have set another challenge of monitoring grid resources for efficient management. In this paper, we propose an information system which monitors the virtualization enabled grid resources. This information system is integrated with globus information system MDS4 for realizing the benefits over CARE Resource Broker [20]. Our information system is quite useful for the CARE resource broker in efficient management of jobs as well as grid resources.
