Conclusion
So far we have been describing and walking through overview discussion topics on the Grid Computing discipline that will be discussed further throughout this book, including the Grid Computing evolution, the applications, and the infrastructure requirements for any grid environment.
In addition to this, we have discussed when one should use Grid Computing disciplines, and the factors developers and providers must consider in the implementation phases. With this introduction we can now explore deeper into the various aspects of a Grid Computing system, its evolution across the industries, and the current architectural efforts underway throughout the world.
The proceeding chapters in this book introduce the reader to this new, evolutionary era of Grid Computing, in a concise, hard-hitting, and easy-to-understand manner.
