Transactional Grid, Beyond HPC

One of the big criticisms about Grid is that if it wants to become "more than a science project", it is going to have to break out of its traditional "HPC wheelhouse" and become a practically applied technology for other aspects of enterprise computing. Transactional Grid applications may be just what the critics ordered.

In a fantastic GRIDtoday special feature, Grid Gets Transactional, we see that there are companies out there not just thinking this way, but actually deploying this way.

This is truly a glimpse of what the future holds for Grid.
