Data Management as a Cluster Middleware CenterpieceThrough earth and space modeling and the ongoing launches of satellites to gather data, NASA has become one of the largest producers of data in the world. These large data sets necessitated the creation of a Data Management System (DMS) to assist both the users and the administrators of the data. Halcyon Systems Inc. was contracted by the NASA Center for Computational Sciences (NCCS) to produce a Data Management System. The prototype of the DMS was produced by Halcyon Systems Inc. (Halcyon) for the Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO). The system, which was implemented and deployed within a relatively short period of time, has proven to be highly reliable and deployable. Following the prototype deployment, Halcyon was contacted by the NCCS to produce a production DMS version for their user community. The system is composed of several existing open source or government-sponsored components such as the San Diego Supercomputer Center s (SDSC) Storage Resource Broker (SRB), the Distributed Oceanographic Data System (DODS), and other components. Since Data Management is one of the foremost problems in cluster computing, the final package not only extends its capabilities as a Data Management System, but also to a cluster management system. This Cluster/Data Management System (CDMS) can be envisioned as the integration of existing packages.
