Why Grid MP?

Here's what makes Grid MP the best choice for cycle harvesting of non-dedicated resources:

Only technology engineered specifically for large-scale, non-dedicated environments

Only Grid MP was designed specifically to operate in massive-scale, globally dispersed environments where compute devices are not tightly controlled – so scalability is built in and unpredictability is accounted for.

• Regularly scales to thousands of production customer nodes
• Has operated massive Internet grids with millions of nodes

Ease of application enablement

With a flexible application framework, scores of commercial application integrations, and relationships with top application ISVs, Grid MP makes it easy to get applications up and running.

• Open, standards-based Web services interface for integrating applications
• Software Development Kit (SDK) with detailed documentation, tools and examples
• Scores of commercial application integrations
• Relationships with top application ISVs
• Expert staff of application enablers who can assist to get applications up and running in hours

Unobtrusiveness

Remaining unobtrusive in a large-scale and/or non-dedicated environment is a challenge for other technologies which were not engineered for such environments.

• Grid MP runs with no discernable impact on the desktop – customers have cited this as a prime differentiator
• Grid MP has operated massive global volunteer grids with zero reports of obtrusiveness issues from millions of remote desktop users

Fast, simple installation with easy, cost-effective maintenance

Other technologies, both commercial and open-source, can be difficult to operate and extremely costly to maintain – this is another reason customers often turn to Grid MP.

• Grid MP can be installed and up and running in just a few days, or in some cases even hours
• Grid MP's cost-effective ongoing maintenance and recognized expert support keeps customers coming back

Embedded meta-data layer for automatic data tracking, reporting and validation

Grid MP's unique built-in meta-data layer enables valuable reporting and monitoring of resources, users and jobs. Some of Grid MP's top customers have selected Grid MP for this very reason: Grid MP automates the process of tracking job information such as where the job run, how long it took etc. Doing this manually takes valuable time and energy away from users and IT staff.

• Detailed reporting and monitoring of resources, users and jobs
• Enabled vast scalability
