摘要

Boston — IBM announced last week at the GridWorld show in Boston that it has licensed commercial releases of Globus middleware from Univa, a start-up focusing on open source grid software. IBM says it will also use Univa's software on its grid projects. "The important thing from our perspective for grid computing really to be successful is for it to be implemented based on open standards," says Ken King, vice president of grid computing at IBM.
