A portal is much more than just web development design

By means of a well-chosen, web-based user interface end users can enter the realm of the Grid. They can order resources and applications anywhere in the world to perform complex operations. At the same time they do not need to worry where these remote machines are placed and how to put the workflow in motion. A well designed, user-friendly, application oriented portal hides the unnecessary technical complexity from the user’s eye, letting them forget about the infrastructure and focus on their applications.





Executive Summary

The GridwiseTech report has been written from a vendor-independent perspective and discusses solutions currently available on the market. It presents the results of a technical research project backed by our long experience.
