Overview
Nucleur Physics
Sun Grid Compute Utility
Physicists working on the STAR experiment at Brookhaven National Laboratory have turned to Network.com to run simulations using its StarSim application. STAR tracks the thousands of particles produced by ion collisions at the laboratory's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, searching for quark-gluon plasma (QGP), a form of matter that is believed to have last existed just after the Big Bang, at the dawn of the universe. The STAR experiment involves accumulating and analyzing millions of images of ion collisions, a process that is both computing-intensive and data-intensive.

Sun Grid Compute Utility
By using the computationally intensive eHiTS program on the Sun Grid Compute Utility, scientists can leverage additional compute capacity to speed time to results for molecular docking, and accelerate the pace of innovation and discovery.
Financial Services/Banking
Sun Grid Compute Utility
CDO2 made its CDOSheet risk simulation program available on the Sun Grid Compute Utility so that financial organizations could meet the demand for vast compute power and increasing, and sometimes unpredictable, utilization spikes without investing in additional computing resources.
Technology
Sun Grid Compute Utility
Infosolve Technologies, Inc. provides clients with comprehensive data solutions and integration services to achieve their business objectives and create strategic opportunities. Infosolve Technologies engaged the Sun Grid Computer Utility (available through Sun’s Network.com pay-per-use service) to perform key processing operations in support of the data services it offers its own clients.

Technology
Sun Grid Compute Utility
AMD is well aware of the extraordinary business benefits of grid computingthe company has been running its own high-performance computing (HPC) grid for more than a decade. Recently, to ensure the timely delivery to market of a new product line, AMD turned to the Sun Grid Utility at Sun's Network.com Web site to quickly access the additional compute power required for a simulation program. Access to the Sun Grid, priced at $1 per CPU hour, gives AMD the flexible capacity it needs, when its production schedule requires itwithout additional investment in hardware.
Life Sciences
Sun Grid Compute Utility
Through Sun Grid Compute Utility, AB was able to perform the compute-intensive data research to develop millions of new genomic assays in a matter of days rather than months. In addition, because the company only had to purchase the number of hours required, at a rate of $1 per CPU hour, it avoided an investment in infrastructure that would have cost the company hundreds of thousands of dollars.
