Entropia integrates its platform with GlobusSan Diego 27 September 2001 Entropia will integrate its enterprise software with that of the Globus toolkit. Entropia's Enterprise distributed computing grid software harnesses this power from very large numbers of installed Windows PC's. Globus' software harnesses this power mainly from non-PC computers.
The combination of the two technologies will allow enterprise customers to further accelerate time
to market and leverage their sunk cost in IT infrastructure by augmenting their existing high
performance computers with the vast computational and storage resources in desktop PCs made
accessible through Entropia's technologies.
The integrated software will allow enterprises to submit
computationally intensive jobs to a heterogeneous computing resource using the Globus protocols.
The Globus protocols will also allow these resource pools to be federated across institutions in the
form of shared Grids.
Entropia's PC-based Enterprise distributed
computing technology is currently being piloted by Bristol-Myers Squibb's Pharmaceutical
Research Institute and Novartis in addition to others not publicly
announced.
