G'day Natalia I have built and currently running a number of portable AccessGrid. They aren't as portable as the name would suggest, but if placed on some form of trolley, they could be easily moved around.
Information about these portable AG's and the equipment I used can be found here: http://hpc.cqu.edu.au/accessgrid.html#PIGLET http://hpc.cqu.edu.au/accessgrid.html#BUND http://hpc.cqu.edu.au/accessgrid.html#MACK As John's previous email suggest, depending on the functionality, you can built any type of portable AG's depending on your application. If you have any further questions, pleas don't hesitate to contact me. Regards, Jason. -------------------------------------------- Jason Bell, B.I.T. B. Info. Tech.

We are in a new stage of AG deployment, our new challenge is to develop a mobile AG node. It's a room one, but we need to move the equipment wherever is needed. And, we are in a hurry, as we need to purchase and have it working properly for an important event soon. I've seen this isnt a brand new idea, there is a pic of one "portable ag node" on the Internet2 website, and there are more sites that have one. The problem is that i couldnt find precise details about the hardware we should purchase. Or the better configuration (cable length, wireless video, maybe rack PCs?), there are so many choices!!. We greatly appreciate any suggestion, configuration and/or advices provided. Has anyone out there worked on a similar configuration? Thankx in advance, Kind regards, Natalia. ----------------------------------- Natalia Costas Lago email: nata...@cesga.es Centro de Supercomputacion de Galicia (CESGA) Avenida de Vigo, s/n Campus Sur 15706 Santiago de Compostela - SPAIN Tel: +34 981 56 98 10 Fax: +34 981 59 46 16 http://www.cesga.es/
