OuterGrid Available, Based On OSGA Standards

GridSystems has announced the release of OuterGrid, the first commercial implementation of the new standard OGSA (Open Grid Services Architecture). Based around GridSystems' award winning InnerGrid Nitya, OuterGrid allows corporations to securely use and offer Grid Services. While InnerGrid Nitya is specially suited for corporative intranets, OuterGrid is intended for enabling, exploiting and extending Grid Services on the Internet.

OuterGrid allows to dynamically create a federation of Grids between virtual organizations. OuterGrid can integrate business processes from geographically distributed business units in a company's organization, and also extend it to processes from partners, suppliers or customers. With OuterGrid, organizations can even offer and bill for their Grid Services on demand, enabling a new era of utility computing.

OuterGrid attaches to the Grid standard OGSA, including built-in security mechanisms that conform to Globus GSI. This warrants the interoperability and compatibility of OuterGrid Grid Services with future Grid Services based on other future implementations of OGSA.
