Arquitectura de almacenamiento masivo de datos en la infraestructura Grid usando el middlewareglite

nowadays, the increase in research projects at universities requires high-computing and mass-storage equipment, creating the need for having a supercomputing infrastructure. this work attempts to find a solution to the storage problems that arise in the different research groups at universities. massive-storage infrastructures, which use a file system compatible with egee middleware, are implemented, taking advantage of the storage space left by working nodes. this should offer a very low-price solution. additionally, a cluster with fundamental grid services is created and thus integrated to the intercontinental infrastructure of eela-2, establishing a platform for distributed computing and storage intended for the scientific community at universidad industrial de santander.
