Grid computing moved out of the laboratory and into
mainstream commercial computing applications in 2004, says a new market
research study released by the Insight Research Corporation. Grid
computing, a type of distributed system, makes it possible to share
computing resources across networks, creating what amounts to virtual
super computers. Insight’s analysis of the grid industry was confirmed
recently by the announcement on the part of commercial computing stalwarts
IBM, Intel, Hewlett-Packard, and Sun Microsystems that they were forming
the Globus Consortium to drive grid technology into mainstream commercial
applications.
According to the report,
Grid Computing: A Vertical
Market Perspective 2005-2010, Insight estimates worldwide grid spending
will grow from $714.9 million in 2005 to approximately $19.2 billion in
2010. Grid spending was examined in 14 vertical industries, with a
majority of near term grid spending in manufacturing and financial service
industries. Spending estimates could increase at a faster rate, Insight
cautions, if draft specifications being developed as part of the Web
Services Resource Framework (WSRF) to foster convergence of the Web
service and grid computing communities succeed.
“The WSRF is going to provide the blueprint for moving
the Internet to the next stage in its evolution, expanding it from a way
to link machines to a highly functional computing resource, a
transactional virtual machine,” says Insight Research president Robert
Rosenberg. “Web services today are ‘stateless,’ they have no memory of
what a program requests from invocation to invocation, and they are also
‘transient’ in the sense that data presented to one client can’t be seen
or changed by another client. If the WSRF succeeds, issues such as
‘statelessness’ and ‘transience’ will be solved, and Web services will
enter the realm of virtual computing,” Rosenberg concluded.
