Platform Symphony Developer Edition

Platform Symphony Developer Edition (DE) provides an environment for application developers to grid-enable, test, and run their service-oriented applications. The Symphony DE provides a cluster environment without requiring a full Symphony cluster.

Symphony DE provides a complete test environment, simulating the grid environment provided by Platform Symphony. Developers can test their client and service in their own cluster of machines before deploying to the grid.

Symphony DE provides easy-to-use APIs and rich design patterns to seamlessly grid-enable all types of service-oriented applications with minimal changes. The DE also includes a web interface for monitoring and controlling your test environment, and a knowledge center for easy access to documentation.

To run Symphony workload on the grid, the application developer creates a service package and adds the service executable into the package: no additional code changes are required.

The Symphony DE does not include the EGO resource management component. It does include an EGO stub to simulate basic EGO resource distribution.
