Have you heard about grid technologies but don't know where to get started? This hands-on lab will have you installing, deploying and using a grid based on Services Oriented Architecture (SOA). IBM's Grid Toolbox V3 for Multiplatforms (IGT) provides a grid service development and hosting environment. This product based on Open Grid Services Infrastructure (OGSI) standards includes services that virtualize Job Management, Data Management and Information about the grid. You'll configure IGT's security, manage grid services with the Grid Services Manager, and deploy and interact with supplied grid services.
