Sun hasn't a single grid computing customer

27 Oct 2005

Excellent investigation by The Register reveals that Sun hasn't even one customer for its on-demand grid computing service.

This doesn't surprise me totally. You may remember HP's Utility Computing product died about a year ago and most analysts are predicting it will be a few years before utility and grid from third-parties will enter into vogue in organisations. There are still technological and management issues that need to be solved and I don't think anyone's yet been fooled into thinking otherwise.
