Abstract
PCs and Workstations clusters are becoming more popular everyday. In many cases these systems are considered as part of a wider system for meta or GRID computing purposes. The management, administration and use of this systems present several difficulties due to the need to access different systems located at remote sites. A new architecture for managing a MultiUser MultiCluster environment has been developed. A cluster management environment prototype called ION Web (Interoperable Object Network Web) has been developed. This prototype is based on well-known standards (Web, CORBA, Java and XML). It works with PCs or Workstation Clusters but the architecture is not final environment dependent, and can be migrated or adapted to any cluster, like for example, PVM or MPI Clusters, or Grid systems using their native services.
This work has been supported by the MCyT (Spain) under contract TIC2001-2592 and partially supported by Generalitat de Catalunya - G. de Recerca consolidat 2001SGR-00218.
