How can I use Red Hat Enterprise MRG with cloud computing?
MRG Grid includes integrated support for scheduling jobs to Amazon EC2. MRG Grid’s scheduler can automatically: • instantiate capacity in the cloud, • send jobs and data to the newly available capacity in the cloud, • execute and monitor the jobs in the cloud, • retrieve and handle job results, and • tear down the capacity in the cloud when the job has finished. This capability allows enterprises to add capacity dynamically to existing data centers when they need additional processing power. Alternatively, companies that might not be able to utilize fully a local grid can leverage MRG to instantiate dynmically a grid on-the-fly in the cloud for the times that they do need access to a grid. Finally, MRG Grid enables enterprises to blend seamlessly cloud-based infrastructure with local infrastructure.
