Sun Grid Engine software is the world's leading - and most widely deployed - distributed resource manager. The Sun Grid Engine software supports extreme scalability, simplifies administration and supports a diverse set of use case scenarios. It has industry-leading reliability and offers fast return on investment. Originally released by Sun in September 2000, the newest release is Sun Grid Engine 6.2 Update 3 and it is built on the Grid Engine open source project.

The Sun Grid Engine 6.2 Update 3 release is the evolutionary step of the Sun Grid Engine product, towards cloud computing. Cloud computing has become popular because of its pay-per-use paradigm and because it can transform the HPC data center from a cost center into a profit center, leveraging the IT investments already being in place.
