Chairman's Opening Remarks
STREET#GRID SPECIAL REPORT
The grid industry at the moment is going through a process, an evolution. I've been involved in this sector for a long time now. We've very much grown up and gone through the stages of being born through to being a fully grown technology. There have been challenges with the initial impact in the performance and compute grid and we've moved on from those and now have more ambitious targets as we scale out across the enterprise. We run into the realms of getting CPUs and making sure that we can keep up with the demand from the businesses, particularly in the financial field.
Interestingly, we're seeing growth and experiencing a number of data set challenges, such as delivering data on a global basis. We have challenges with scalability, power cooling, software delivery mechanisms, parallelization, virtualization, and other infrastructure problems. There's a lot of discussion, for example, in virtualization because there are so many different parts of it.
I would like to thank our event's lead sponsors, Azul Systems and Intel; and our panel sponsors, DataSynapse, GemStone Systems, GigaSpaces, Hewlett-Packard, IBM and Platform Computing. We would also like to thank our co-sponsors ASpeed, Microsoft, Sybase, and Tangosol.
To our moderators, thank you very much. I look forward to meeting up with some of you again in the future or at the upcoming Waters and DWT CITY#GRID event in London on December 6.
