N1 Grid Architecture Realized: Strategic Flexibility

Overview Any architectural solution must first solve the basic IT problems of cost and complexity. Then, it must strive to develop the business and IT linkage to its fullest extent. That is the central theme of the Sun N1 Grid architectural solution, and it is articulated in the concept of strategic flexibility. The N1 Grid vision provides resources for services in a more efficient and flexible manner. In many ways, the grid technologies that have been used over the last decade are aligned with the N1 Grid vision for the data center.
