High Performance Computing White Papers

Grid, Storage Grid, and the HP StorageWorks Grid

Overview The concept of Grid computing promises an on-demand and highly utilized computing environment that appeals to many enterprises. Recent developments in server virtualization technologies enable server resources to be centrally managed and distributed - similar to the way a storage network partitions storage resources. The current state of technology development has inspired the concepts of "server Grids" and "storage Grids." HP, an established technology leader in the storage market, has delivered the first "storage Grid-enabled" product among the major storage vendors.
