Re: [classad-users] Who is using ClassAd's on its own?

[Mike Smorul <toaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We're using ClassAds to allocate disk resources to clients for an 
archival ingestion system called PAWN (Producer-Archive Workflow 
Network). We originally looked at using traditional load-balancing 
techniques to spread client load across target disk pools, but quickly 
realized that a scheduled approach would work much better.
Currently we're just matching based on disk size, but in the future may 
expand it to match based on administrative policy as well.
