Dell, EMC, Intel and Oracle announced the launch of Project MegaGrid – – an initiative that aims to make it easier to develop a complete enterprise grid computing solution that outperforms traditional offerings at a fraction of the cost. The initial phase of Project MegaGrid is focused on designing, testing and documenting industry standard best practices for building effective enterprise grid computing infrastructures taking into account cost and performance requirements. These practices also include conducting a series of tests for scalability, performance and manageability of a comprehensive database, server and networked storage configuration. The working infrastructure is architected, configured and validated at the Oracle Global IT Data Center.
Commercial and enterprise organizations can use the resources of Project MegaGrid to implement their own grid computing solutions.
In addition to the technology provided by the four companies, Cramer and F5 Networks are also contributing to Project MegaGridhttp://www.oracle.com/megagrid
