Incubator/Virtual Workspaces
From Globus
This a dev.globus project page, also see the Nimbus home page.
Virtual Workspaces is an Incubator project that develops Nimbus.
Nimbus is an EC2-interface compatible remote service that allows authorized clients to deploy environments (virtual machines) described by meta-data on a specified resource quota. The environments that can be deployed in this way range from single VMs to coordinated virtual clusters and more complex constructs.
The Virtual Workspaces project is a contributor to the Globus Toolkit distribution.
This GlobDev project webpage contains information for project committers and contributors. Information for users of Virtual Workspaces can be found on the web site:
