ADVISORY/ASPEED's Ziegler Leads Panel Discussion at GridWorld.BOSTON Boston, town, England Boston, town (1991 pop. 26,495), E central England, on the Witham River. Boston's fame as a port dates from the 13th cent., when it was a Hanseatic port trading wool and wine. Having recovered from a decline in the 18th and 19th cent. -- Session Addresses the Next Frontier: Grid-Enabled Applications ASPEED Software's Kurt Ziegler joins a group of grid computing grid computing, the concurrent application of the processing and data storage resources of many computers in a network to a single problem. It also can be used for load balancing as well as high availability by employing multiple computers—typically personal veterans in delivering the last word at this week's 15th annual Grid World conference. The panel examines a growing concern for organizations of all shapes and sizes that have embraced grid environments to increase efficiency and reduce costs: how to migrate business-critical applications to distributed environments. Ziegler, along with executives from SAS Institute SAS Institute Inc., headquartered in Cary, North Carolina, USA, has been a major producer of software since it was founded in 1976 by Anthony Barr, James Goodnight, John Sall and Jane Helwig. and Noesis, will discuss an application-centric approach that enables financial firms, drug developers and manufacturers to seamlessly migrate mathematically complex applications - the heart and soul of critical business decisions - to grid, cluster and distributed environments - without re-writing and re-engineering the underlying code or logic.
