Traditional enterprise computing

If you take the same business needs and deploy them into a grid computing environment, such as that shown in Figure 13-2, configuring the environment includes the following:

■ Requisition as many commoditized computers as can be found.

■ Manage a single database running on many computers.

■ Segregate data as an abstraction (service).

■ Take on new professional responsibilities rapidly.

■ Manage enterprise computing as a single resource, distributed to divisions and functions based on usage requirements.
