This chapter focuses on the use of Grid technologies to achieve utility computing. An overview of how Grids can support utility computing is first presented through the architecture of Utility Grids. Then, utility-based resource allocation is described in detail at each level of the architecture. Finally, some industrial solutions for utility computing are discussed.
Grids are experiencing a rapid growth in their application and along with this there is a requirement for a portal which is easy to use and scalable. We have responded to this requirement by developing an easy to use, scalable, web-based portal called G-Monitor. This paper proposes a generic architecture for a web portal into a grid environment and discusses our implementation and its application.
