DYNAMIC PARALLEL ACCESS

DYNAMIC PARALLEL ACCESS

         ABSTRACT

                           This project is an accelerated service agent to enable users logged onto a network to access remote files and services. This project is done in Java. The DDS agent identifies the machines connected to the network. A single machine termed the master-browser takes cognizance of the status of the machine vis-à-vis the network, and the services and resources on the network.

                                    The DDS agent then provides an effective mechanism to query and retrieve the resources as required by each machine. This agent may be of pertinent use to small networks in companies. This is because several similar tools are available on the net since they possess several loopholes with the point of view of security. Also, the complete usability of shared applications can be realized with this software.

                        The concept of this project is to access the shared files in Linux Environment in Windows Environment. Users can access shared files in Windows to Windows and Linux to Linux Environment but can’t access files in Linux in Windows. The Server machine is installed with Linux and Clients are installed with Windows operating system. The files in server machine is put into a distributed directory and then downloaded into client machines.

EXISTING SYSTEM

                  Though solutions exist for Windows platforms that emulate the concept of service agents, no reliable cross-platform software exists similar to the one we have developed. The available solutions include:

            1. Commercial software

            2. Free downloads

           

The few commercial solutions that exist lack the following requirements:

            1.  Price factor

            2. Too compelling and intricate registration and maintenance procedures

      3. 100 % customized for a single company’ requirements so that modification to suit alternative requirements becomes difficult.

           4.  Security.

Drawbacks of Existing System

            The Available Software is either prohibitively expensive or doesn’t satisfactorily possess all the features required. It is not advisable for corporates to rely on anonymous downloaded software freely available over the internet, for the risks involved with respect to the company’s valuable trade secrets and data are enormous.

 PROPOSED SYSTEM

In short, the requirements for this undertaking are:

                        1. Software that is excellent with respect to performance.

                  2. Doesn’t necessitate dependence on expensive commercial software.

                  3. Customized report and registration features.

                  4. High security

                  5. Reliability and support.

                  6. Offers a user-friendly interface.

      7. Fast and easy probing of a network’ services without straining the network’s resources.

            Quality Assurance is software that fulfills all the above requirements. The services can be seamlessly accessed and the files downloaded for the network users.

An essential criterion for the success of software is a simple, user-friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI). The project should be robust (bullet-proof) so that the service agent does not go down should any wrong data be input, or any other crisis like an attempted violation of access rights occurs.
