Overview:

Virtualization has brought undoubted benefits to organizations forced with consolidating data centers. However, despite its triumphs in large-scale organizations, virtualization can fall short in safeguarding against unplanned downtime or consolidating beyond servers in areas of storage, data, and applications. According to this IDG white paper, next-generation grid-based solutions and strategies are now addressing the same issues that virtualization can tackle, but without compromising uptime and service delivery. Read ahead to see how grid computing is delivering above and beyond the promises of virtualization. You'll also learn how grid computing is especially impactful in database consolidation with results like better availability, scalability, flexibility, lower costs, and better service levels of every kind.
