Improving the Internet Service Using Grid Technology (A Case Study of Adeniran Ogunsaya College of Education, Otto Ijanikin Lagos)

Abstract

Data Grids are an emerging new technology for managing large amounts of distributed data. This
technology is highly-anticipated by scientific communities, such as in the area of astronomy, protein
simulation and high energy physics. In this paper, we present our work on Adeniran Ogunsanya College of
Education Internet servers. While few of the servers are trying to cope with the user requests from the five
schools of the college, other servers are always idle. Lack of grid support is making it really challenging to
process user requests efficiently. A grid-Coordinator was included in the star topology of the college
network which route jobs to servers that idle.
