The promise of Hive Computing - Organizations being able to acquire all the power they need for only as long as is necessary - is incredibly compelling. Hive Computing has experienced significant success in bringing productivity gains, high performance and cost savings to business applications such as; Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Supply Chain Management (SCM) and B2B portals (E-commerce sites). Grid Computing has brought productivity gains, high performance and cost savings, but in some places it is largely incomplete, i.e. when it comes to the questions of mission-critical computing in general and transaction oriented in particular. This paper discusses a new approach to the development, deployment and management of mission-critical applications - called Hive Computing - that is designed to complement and extend the vision of Grid Computing.
