Gridget > CRN Reviews Digipede again
[Expert Texture] The article also specifically supports my earlier point. The reviewing engineers gave up after spending five hours trying to get something to work on Sun Grid. On the Digipede Network, it took approximately 1/2 hour. In the reviewer’s words:

[Expert Texture] Screencasts and contrasting Sun Grid: Sun Grid appears simple but is deceptively hard to use. Simplicity was a primary reason we developed the Digipede Network: we don’t think distributed computing needs to be complicated. I think we have been pretty successful at that. Of course, I’m biased, but: stay tuned for an upcoming independent review that contrasts the Digipede Network favorably against Sun Grid on this very point.
[West Coast Grid] Digipede News: I like writing about distributed computing more than I like writing company stuff (I feel so cheap when I do this!), but I also really like to spread good news!
[Expert Texture] Moratorium on a metaphor?: So, the commodity in utility computing is the compute cycle, but utility computing doesn’t resemble an electric utility. The metaphor just doesn’t make sense. I guess people like it because there was a time when electricity generation moved from a local to a centralized model.
[A Day in the Life] Grid Computing: Ahhh, But We Do Still Need... : In this scenario, the core unit of business computing would not be small, inflexible servers but rather large, flexible computing clusters or grids. These clusters in turn would be built not from traditional branded servers but from cheap, commodity subcomponents - chips, boards, drives, power supplies, and so on - that the grid operators would assemble into tightly networked physical or virtual machines.
[West Coast Grid] New SaaS book coming: Facilitate customizationAt my previous startup, Energy Interactive, we offered a product in the electric industry that we offered as an ASP (that's what we called SaaS back in the twentieth century). We went through everything Fred describes--only we weren't lucky enough to have a book to help us along!
[howforge.com | Share Know-How] What will Microsoft do for Grid Computing in... : Tony is an internationally recognized leader in parallel computing and has been a key driver in Web Services standards, especially as they relate to Grid computing. Fabrizio is taking leave from CERN where he served as Project Director for EGEE, a pan European Grid effort for e-science.
[Westcoastgrid.blogspot.com] West Coast Grid: the first will be an introduction to Object Oriented Programming for Grid, along with general information about grid computing. In the second, we'll dive in deeper and show practical applications of grid: using a grid behind a forms app, behind an Excel spreadsheet, and behind a web service.
[Et.cairene.net] Expert Texture: Dan, the Digipede Network Product Manager, has just announced an MSDN Webcast he’ll be doing: Introducing Object Oriented Programming for Grid (OOP-G). The event is Tuesday, April 11th @ 11:00 PDT.
