Grid Computing - Slow Market Acceptance
Uptake Slow Outside Data-Intense Uses, but Vendors Keep Pushing Grid Concept
Just eight of 100 IT managers who responded to a recent survey said they had
either already deployed or planned to adopt grid computing. Issues holding them
back included concerns about cost, complexity and security. Early adopters are
in data-intense industries; telecommunications companies are joining financial
services companies and scientific researchers on the grid. Cost control is one
of the biggest bonuses. Big vendors, including HP and Sun, continue to push the
grid concept to smaller companies. IBM has introduced a Grid and Grow product
designed to ease adoption pains for SMBs. According to IBM, the bundle of
hardware, software and services will make it easy for first-time users to
implement grid technology.
