Technology Solutions for Grid Computing
Grid technology takes Cluster Computing to the next level by providing a distributed architecture that delivers compute and data resources over the Web in much the same way that electricity is delivered over the power grid - making resources available to users when and where they are needed. Grid Computing is one of the fastest-growing trends in high-end scientific and engineering computing. Grids are coming in all shapes and sizes. By utilizing a flexible computing architecture based on clusters, organizations can develop and tailor grids to continually match changing requirements. Grids deliver the flexibility to harness the power of any available resource, regardless of whether it is a desktop machine or campus supercomputer. » More
