Here we discovered some uncertainties facing GRID computing:

  • Technical Challenges?

One of the problems with any computing technology is getting the different components to talk to each other. Nowhere is this more critical than when trying to get different platforms and environments to talk to each other. This is one of the challenges facing Grid computing. To make the most effective use of the computing resources available, these environments need to talk the same language.

In the emerging technology called Grid computing, the lack of standards has meant that a whole host of companies, developers, and organizations have been developing and supporting the technology using different techniques and solutions. In the relatively isolated worlds of each Grid computing group, this hasn't caused a huge number of issues. But in the wider world of extending the Grid computing environment, it has created divisions, disagreements, and limitations.
