Digipede Developer Network and the Application Quest

TAGS: None

Yesterday Digipede announced the availability of the Digipede Network Developer Edition of their software suite designed to provide an easy path for grid enabling applications.

I can't personally speak to the ease of use of the Digipede products, however it has received some recent accolades especially when compared to another *clears throat* "infrastructure based" solution.

This software is free to developers and comes with the Digipede Workbench and Framework SDK to to grid enable applications, and Digipede Server and two Digipede Agents to build a small grid for testing.

Digipede is an all Microsoft shop and their products are built on Microsoft .NET. While the old Linux geek in me would like to see some availability or cross compatibility with the kind of grids I've been familiar with, I have been running up and down the halls yelling "applications, applications, applications". And, in reality, the majority of the general use applications out there are going to be running on Microsoft platforms.

Ok, no more application talk for a while, I promise. Hopefully some clever developers will take Digipede up on their fine free offer so I don't have to go back on that deal.
