The potential benefits of grid computing are substantial: Grid computing is the alternative to ever-larger servers for enterprise computing. Grid computing is better at balancing workloads and is more fault-tolerant. Grid computing is more scalable.

In short, Enterprise Grid Computing gives you better information at a lower cost.

This TechWebCast will show you how to realize the promise of grid computing within your organization -- and how to do it today.

You'll learn the three basic steps to move your business to Grid Computing:

• Standardize on low-cost, modular servers and storage based on technology such as x86 processors, blade servers, and Linux.



• Consolidate to clusters of servers shared among one or a few data centers.



• Automate all day-to-day management tasks so a single administrator can simultaneously handle hundreds of servers in clusters.

Our featured speaker, Ken Jacobs, has helped guide the development of the Oracle Database product over the years, and he holds several patents for innovative database technology. Ken is known as "Dr. DBA" to thousands of Oracle Database administrators and will share the latest on successfully implementing grid computing.
