Sun software partner CD02 completed a trial of its financial services software on Sun's grid utility platform. More than an endorsement for Sun, this shows that Grid can be accessible and viable for enterprises of various sizes. This also underscores the importance of companies like Univa who support the open source Globus Toolkit, giving enterprises a support mechanism for building Grid apps regardless of where they get deployed.
I like Sun's utility model and it speaks to the general enterprise application and infrastructure story, unlike the DRM announcement this week which I am still puzzled by.
IT Architect has an article on the strategy behind Sun's utility play.
