Grid computing is a virtual distributed computing environment in
which an organization can transparently integrate, streamline, and
share dispersed groups of hosts, servers, storage systems, data, and
networks into one synergistic system. Long used to solve large-scale
problems in science and engineering, grid computing is now beginning to
offer significant efficiencies and savings to the commercial world,
including financial services operations.
A Networking Approach to Grid Computing explores the practical
advantages of grid computing and explains what is needed in order to
migrate successfully to this new computing paradigm and exploit the
business opportunities afforded by grid computing.
This book offers the knowledge and skills needed to architect
and deploy a grid computing environment that contributes directly to
key business goals, including:
The benefits of grid computing and the status of the technology
Standards supporting grid computing including OGSI and OGSA
Deployment and management of computing grids
The economics of grid systems
Communication systems for local, national, and global grids
Familiarizing readers with the services, reference architectures,
storage, and software necessary for successful implementation of a grid
system, A Networking Approach to Grid Computing shows how to set up an
organization's grid environment faster, easier, and at a lower cost
than its competitors.
