Visible: A New Cellular Service

The new wireless service called Visible was launched by the largest cellular carrier in the US and it offered unlimited calling, texting and data for a fee. The low-cost service of Visible could be expanded in the new year with two moves. You can get unlimited talk, text and data for just $40 a month at Visible.

Taxes and fees are included in the price. It's difficult to pass up the unlimited data for $40, though the speed and streaming restrictions are worth noting. If you don't need the fastest network speeds, you should look at the upstart subsidiary of the company, especially if you want to keep monthly costs under control.

What is Grid Computing?

You are not alone if you are asking yourself what grid computing is. The concept has been around for decades in the IT world, but it was mostly considered a niche architecture with limited application outside of some specific high performance uses. It is time to make more organizations aware of how cloud computing can be used to accomplish difficult computing tasks, as all that has changed since then.

People think of a grid as a square or rectangular shaped object that is connected by a series of lines, similar to an electrical grid where homes and businesses are connected to common power lines. The grid in computing is made up of a set of hardware and software resources that are connected over a network through specialized applications. The member of a team that the software is leading is the computing system or "node".

Each of the nodes may be assigned a task or sub task that they all work on at the same time. They might communicate and share information with each other so that a specific result can be achieved. The networks involved in grid computing are parallel, in the sense that the networks are working together even though they are distributed over different locations.

The grid architecture and specialized software that manages it make sure the grid resources are used efficiently and effectively to get the desired results. Computational grids use the systems' collective computing power to analyze large amounts of data. A paper from the International Symposium on Grid Computing states that scientists have joined forces around the world to pursue research in areas such as physics or medical research.

The European Organization for Nuclear Research says that others have used grid computing to try to make mathematical calculations that would be nearly impossible using traditional IT resources. Data grids are used where massive amounts of datare distributed across multiple systems and locations, yet the data can be shared and accessed as though it is in a single location. Splitting the datacross a grid can make it easy to recover from a disaster.
