Some old-fashioned folks would call this "grid computing," but grid computing implies parallel computing to eithe solve scalability problems or create high-performance supercomputer clusters. <br /> <br />No, what we're talking about is software as a service, and Linux remains at the forefront, but somewhat obscured by the clouds, to make a rather oblique Pink Floyd reference. <br /> <br />Let me know what you think. <br /> <br />--James<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7913869164260985151-4459735192829430285?l=linuxpromagazine.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>James Stangerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10079602990336859319noreply@blogger.com0
