Description : Grid computing is a way of networking computers, databases, and applications together in such a way that large computing projects can be automatically parceled out to several small computers at once. By making use of idle machines in an office (or a variety of remote offices), grid computing creates a virtual supercomputer capable of processing huge applications and quantities of data that would otherwise be impossible to execute affordably.
This book details the approach and tools needed to quickly integrate grid services to your business. It provides a look at the standards processes which make open grids possible and describes how grid services can be built using time tested software production methods.
