Excerpted from the website:
- What is the Grid?
- The term Grid to denote a distributed computing and storage environment was coined in 1998 by Ian Foster and Carl Kesselman. It refers to the metaphor of the power grid: computing capacity from a wall outlet and no need to install and maintain complex IT infrastructures on every location that needs access to applications. This grand vision of a globally virtualized IT infrastructure has at this time not yet been materialized in the way the early visionaries had in mind but we do see more and more of its features in operation today.
