Description
Marketing Grid Service in the Cloud computing era (90 mins)
Santi Ristol (Atos Origin, Barcelona, Spain)
In recent months the market has shifted away from the word Grid but the people and technology involved have not disappeared. Instead you find them hidden in the centre of a cloud, masquerading as virtualization or perhaps cowering under the umbrella term “enterprise solutions”. As recently exclaimed: “The Grid is dead, long live the Grid! (under the name of cloud)” . This session presents three speakers whose branding is tied to the word Grid and what they are doing to market their services in the non-Grid world.
