Abstract
In this paper, we address the problem of file replica placement in Data Grids given a certain traffic pattern. We propose a new file replica placement algorithm and compare its performance with a standard replica placement algorithm using simulation. The results show that file replication improve the performance of the data access but the gains depend on several factors including where the file replicas are located, burstness of the request arrival, packet loses and file sizes.
