Project MegaGrid: Infrastructure Design

Overview This white paper discusses the infrastructure design that enables the Enterprise Grid Computing model. A well-designed infrastructure provides the foundation on which the advanced IP and storage networking technologies are utilized, so that Grid-enabled applications can fully utilize resources in response to fluctuating demands. This paper refers to the Enterprise Grid Computing environment built for Project MegaGrid. The environment is jointly developed, designed, architected, and validated by Dell, EMC, Intel, and Oracle to contribute to defining the Enterprise Grid Computing reference model architecture and to developing joint best practices and blueprints.
