A decade ago, the corporate world viewed grid computing as a
curiosity. Today, it views it as an opportunity--a chance to reduce
costs, improve performance, fund new projects, and take advantage
of under-utilized capacity. The engineering behind this
transformation has been amply documented. Until now, however,
little has been written to prepare managers, executives, and other
decision-makers to implement grid computing in a sensible and
effective way.
Grid Computing: The Savvy Manager's Guide examines the technology
from a rigorous business perspective, equipping you with the
practical knowledge you need to assess your options and determine
what grid computing approach is right for your enterprise. This
book is heavy on real-world experience, distilling from a rich
assortment of case studies the best practices currently at work in
a variety of industries. Always attentive to grid computing s many
competitive advantages, it is also realistic about the challenges
of selling the idea to staff and making it a part of your company s
culture.
Grid Computing has an Online Companion at www.savvygrid.com with
contents, details, community forum, and latest updates for the
material.
