GridNFS is an information technology middleware component that
extends distributed file system technology and flexible identity
management techniques to meet the needs of grid-based virtual
organizations.
GridNFS fills the gap for two vital, missing
capabilities:
Transparent and secure data management integrated with existing authentication and authorization tools, and
Scalable and agile name space management for establishing and controlling identity in virtual organizations and for specifying their data resources.
CITI developed GridNSF with support from National Science Foundation Grant SCI 0438298, SCI: NMI DEVELOPMENT: GridNFS.
