Towards secure data management system for grid environment based on the cell broadband engine

Nowadays grid applications process large volumes of data. This creates the need for an effective distributed data-management solutions. For the ClusteriX grid project, the CDMS (ClusteriX Data Management System) has been developed. Analysis of user requirements and existing implementations of data management systems in grids have been the foundations for its creation. Special attention has been paid to make the system user-friendly and efficient. In this paper, we propose to use the innovative Cell Broadband Engine to implement a set of measures which are necessary to fulfill the security and availability requirements of grid data management systems. Also, we discuss how this goal can be achieved in the CDMS2, an improved version of the CDMS.
