- Grid as a Basis for Metro Area Networks?
-
I've never deployed Sun Grid, but wonder openly if it would be applicable for support of Metropolitan area networks, e.g., the San Francisco wi-fi deal.
Perhaps it's not a compute/floating point intensive task, but additional services would likely be added, perhaps data/voice combinations. And if the San Fran deal is a harbinger of things to come, additional Metro supported networks would benefit from a computing architecture that could scale well enough to tie them together.
It seems interesting, but I'd be the first to admit it's speculation on my part.
