Re: Grid

> We've been talking of Grid computing here since either late 1999 or early
2000. The computing for our main experiment was designed before the Grid was contemplated. Still we have implemented some of the middleware needed, and build methods of authentication and authorization, and participated in Grid experiments. We have also been pushing the ability to transfer large amounts of data. The latest effort: 2.3 GB per second between the local internet hub and Geneva Switzerland over Internet 2. This is vital to make the Grid work.

Yep, you'll probably have huge amounts of data coming in when CERN gets their large hadron collider online in 2007 ;) Btw, AFAIK, they're using Oracle...
