Grid systems speed Wachovia transaction apps

22.05.2006

Donna Scott, an analyst at Gartner Inc., said that Wachovia is an early user of grid technology for such applications. Many organizations, she said, still run Web-based applications in silos. "Most organizations have these islands of computing, and they don't talk to each other," she said.

IBM also has a product, WebSphere-XD, that allows transactions across a shared resource pool, but for the most part, such technologies are still emerging, Scott said.
