Oracle will launch a Grid computing product this week based on the open source Globus Toolkit.
Oracle GDK, an adaptation of the de facto standard Globus middleware, will be unveiled at OracleWorld this week, said Benny Souder, Oracle's vice president for distributed database development. The product will be available as a free download for Oracle customers, and Oracle will also be doing joint development work with the Globus Project.
"We want to make it easy for all our customers to be able to do Grid," Souder said.
He said Oracle is already a "happy user" of Grid computing, employing the technology to build Oracle database software. The company has used a Linux-based blade farm for about a year with great results and cost savings, he said. Oracle sees blades running the Linux operating system as the future of Grid computing, he said.
