Grid Computing Database

Grid Computing Database Volume 1 explores the development of technologies that provide scalable access to wide-area distributed resources. This technical guide examines how computational grids allow for the sharing and aggregation of geographically distributed resources, including supercomputers and storage systems, to solve large-scale data intensive computing applications.

Written for professionals in computers and management information systems, this volume analyzes the implementation of the Oracle Database and Oracle Application Server within a grid computing framework. Peter Archibong compares these technologies to evaluate the utility of the Oracle Database in IT environments that require high availability and robust desktop applications.
