Tangosol Inc.
CEO Cameron Purdy is a featured speaker at GridWorld in Washington,
D.C. Purdy will speak to attendees on "Creating Grid-Based Data
Infrastructures for the Enterprise" at 10 a.m. on Sept. 12.
The program will focus on Grid-based infrastructures, which are used
to achieve unlimited application scalability and continuous
availability across multiple datacenters. Purdy will show how data grid
capabilities (such as coherent in-memory caching, dynamic data
partitioning, and parallel query and process execution) function, and
how they are being mapped onto Grid infrastructures. He will explore
how organizations are successfully using data grid capabilities to
solve increasingly difficult and complex problems and how they are
getting the maximum utility from Grid computing, especially on a global
scale.
Purdy is the founder and president of Tangosol, and a frequent
presenter at industry conferences. He has received a number of awards
in recognition of his contribution to the Java community and regularly
participates in industry standards development.

Burned to some degree by the confusion surrounding grid computing, many vendors have drastically cut the term from their marketing strategies. As a result, these vendors are not so quick to latch onto cloud computing. However, many of their new directions could easily fall under the cloud umbrella, and those in the know readily acknowledge that grid technologies underlie the cloud. So, what's a middleware vendor to do? How can a user tell the difference?
