“SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Grid computing in Linux environments is a hot topic at the Enterprise Linux Forum Conference & Expo this week. Several conference presentations focus on developments in open-source standards for grid computing and the major vendors’ grid computing initiatives. But all this attention to grid computing doesn’t mean that all mainstream businesses should jump on the bandwagon — at least not yet, according to Chris Smith, a speaker at the conference and an integration architect for Platform Computing, a vendor that has already implemented grid solutions at major manufacturing, pharmaceutical and scientific companies.”
