Why Use Base One Grid Computing?
With Base One distributed computing technology, large-scale business and scientific applications are significantly less expensive to build, maintain, and administer… and they are faster to implement. Base One’s software harnesses the power of a large, diverse collection of Windows desktop PCs and servers. Applications running on these computers can be managed through a unique grid architecture, which runs on any of the leading databases (i.e. Microsoft, IBM, Oracle, Sybase, MySQL). An essential feature contributing to the scalability, robustness, and security of this architecture is its concept of Batch Job Servers, the logical processing units comprising a “virtual supercomputer”. Each Batch Job Server corresponds to a single-user desktop, a rack-mounted PC, a blade of a blade server, or a high-powered server machine, running any Windows client or server OS (from Windows 2000 through Windows Server 2003). Batch Job Servers independently and asynchronously search out work that they c
