Oracle's Enterprise Grid Computing technology allows collections of industry-standard servers and storage devices to provide a highly-scalable, highly-available platform for mission-critical applications. Oracle Grid Computing alters the economics of I.T. infrastructure by allowing the most affordable hardware and storage technologies to support the largest and most critical I.T. workloads.

Instead of needing many different hardware and software architectures to support different I.T. workloads, Grid Computing simplifies and standardises I.T. by allowing a common, low-cost platform to be employed for everything from departmental applications to the largest and most critical enterprise systems.
