====== Grid4Utility: Federation of Grid Infrastructures and Utility Computing ======

One of the aims of the Grid4Utility activities is to deliver components that complement Gridway and Globus to enable the deployment of federated grid architectures, allowing companies and research centers to access their in-house, partner and outsourced computing resources via automated methods using grid standards in a simpler, more flexible and adaptive way. Currently there are two components that allow grid federation:

    * [[http://www.gridway.org/relatedcomponents/gridgateway.php | GridGateWay]] encapsulates a grid behind a WS-GRAM service.

    * [[http://www.gridway.org/relatedcomponents/sgetransferqueue.php | SGE Transfer Queue to Globus and GridWay]] allows the submission of jobs from SGE to Globus and GridWay.
