My apologies for this this somewhat general subject, but I
could not think of a better way to state it.
The over hyped buzzword of the year is 'grid'.
Oracle has a grid, Sun has a grid, and now IBM has a grid.

It looks like large proprietary systems are in the works. It's deja vu
all over again. Kind of seems like the 1970's and 80's, only on
a larger scale.
My question is this: Does anyone here have real world experience
with grid technology? By real world, I mean in production.
If so, which one?
Is anyone here involved in plans to implement grid computing?
I'm personally a bit of a skeptic at this point, and see it as bleeding
edge, with early implementers serving as quality control testers
and troubleshooters.
But then again, I'm in a small shop. I don't get out much. :)
