Advances in Grid technology enable the deployment of data-intensive distributed applications, which require moving Terabytes or even Petabytes of data between data banks. The current underlying nehvorks cannut provide dedicated links with adequate end-to-end sustained bandwidth to support ihe requirements of these Grid applications. DWDM-RAM' is a novel service-oriented architecture, which harnesses the enormous bandwidth potential of optical nefivorks and demonstrates their on-demand nsage on the OMNlner. Preliminary experiments suggest that dynamic optical networks, such as the OMNlnet, are the ideal option for transferring such massive amounts of data. DWDM-RAM incorporates an OGSI/OGSA compliant service interface and will promote greater convergence between dynamic optical networks and data intensive Grid computing.
