About the Book

This work explores practical advantages of Grid Computing and what is needed by an organization to migrate to this new computing paradigm. This self-contained reference makes both the concepts and applications of grid computing clear and understandable to even non-technical managers. It explains the underlying networking mechanism and answers such questions critical to the business enterprise as "What is grid computing?" "How widespread is its present/potential penetration?" "Is it ready for prime time?" "Are there firm standards?" "Is it secure?" "How do we bill this new product?"; and "How can we deploy it (at a macro level)?"
