A computing architecture that coordinates large numbers of servers and storage to
act as a single large computer. Oracle Grid Computing creates a flexible, on-demand
computing resource for all enterprise computing needs. Applications running on
the Oracle 10g grid computing infrastructure can take advantage of common

Grid Computing analyzes demand for resources and adjusts supply accordingly.
HTTP

creation (provisioning of digital identities) to maintenance (enforcing organizational
policies regarding access to electronic resources), and, finally, to termination.
