3. GLORIAD - Cyberinfrastructure The Global Ring Network for Advanced Applications Development, or GLORIAD, provides a network of high-speed computing capability to scientists and engineers around the Northern Hemisphere. Through the use of grid middleware, the GLORIAD network allows applications and data from disparate sources to be worked on collaboratively by researchers across international boundaries.
