Report One: Grid Computing – Where is the Value?

This report analyzes a key challenge to the acceleration of grid technology adoption: how to prove long-term value and measure the economic benefits. The 451 Group has interviewed eight tier one grid users in depth about their approach. Each provides details of the hard and soft benefits of the deployments and overall financial considerations, together with the scope and challenges of the implementation. The 451 Group also interviewed seven leading vendors to identify what strategies and instruments are being deployed by vendors seeking to persuade users of the benefits of grid technology. We compare these different approaches and analyze whether they are meeting the needs of users – determining what's working and what's not. Report length: 41 pages.

> Early-adopter case studies: Acxiom, BAE, Johnson & Johnson and Wachovia

> Vendor assessments:

- Major players: IBM, Oracle and Sun

- ISVs: Data Synapse, GridXpert, Platform and United Devices
