[Here is another great example developed by the Nortel research team, in
partnership with GLORAID partners around the world, demonstrating the power
of cyber-infrastructure with web services and mashups for just in time
computation.  The demo showed how a complete computational image could be
transferred between sites around the world in seconds in the event that any
one site had catastrophic failure. This type of capability is essential for
critical transaction based cyber-infrastructure that might be needed in
global or national disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes, etc

The GLORIAD VMTdemo at SC|06 was the latest in a series of demonstrations
aimed at showing how virtualization of resources can be made adaptable and
dynamic to provide a richer experience for the user. Employing Web Services
to simplify the various "mashups," computation can be delivered at the right
place and time. 

Virtual host nodes were located at Amsterdam, Daejeon(Korea), Chicago, and
Tampa. GLORIAD supported 2xGbE connections between Amsterdam, Daejeon,
Chicago, and New York, respective for data and control. Atlantic Wave and
Florida LambdRail provided 2xGbE connectivity between New York and Tampa.
CANARIE provided a UCLP APN between Seattle and Chicago to NYC.

Nortel's Dynamic Resource Allocation Controller (DRAC) orchestrated the
"just-in-time"lightpath cross-connects at switching nodes in Seattle and
Chicago using UCLP and TL-1 proxy interfaces. Nortel's sensor virtualization
and event processing prototype was leveraged to monitor per-rack temperature
and UPS events within the Tampa data center to generate the sensor triggers.
