NetKernel is a resource oriented cloud computing platform that provides a unified abstraction for distributed resources. It uses a composite architecture and application server model with over 10 years of research and development into resource oriented computing abstractions. NetKernel demonstrates concepts like importing and exporting distributed resources using its NetKernel Protocol, which allows seamless spanning of resources across hosts through asynchronous communication and load balancing.
