 Data grid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A data grid is a grid computing system that deals with data—the controlled sharing and management of large amounts of distributed data.
The size and number of these data collections has been growing rapidly in recent years and will continue to grow as new experiments and sensors come on-line, the costs of computation and data storage decrease and performances increase, and new computational science applications are developed.
Current large-scale data grid projects include the Biomedical Informatics Research Network (BIRN), the Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC), and the Real-time Observatories, Applications, and Data management Network (ROADNet), all of which make use of the SDSC Storage Resource Broker as the underlying data grid technology.

 Beehive NetUI Data Grids
This data grid binds to a List of PetBean objects stored in the PageContext's attribute map and renders an HTML table that is four cells wide (i.e., four columns) containing the petId, name, description, and price fields.
Cells in the body of the data grid are used to render the grid's data; the spanCell tags in the simple example above are an example of this.
By default, the data grid renders a set of HTML style class names which can be used in conjunction with a user-provided CSS file to automatically apply styles to the grid.

 Grid Solutions - Data Replication for LIGO
The data generated by a LIGO run must be scientifically analyzed for it to be of any value.
The data management challenge faced by LIGO is therefore to replicate approximately 1 TB/day of data to multiple sites securely, efficiently, robustly, and automatically; to keep track of where replicas have been made for each piece of the data; and to use the data in a multitude of independent analysis runs.
Data transfer endpoints should be authenticated using "strong" security, and data transfers should preserve data integrity.

The GEO Data Portal is the authoritative source for data sets used by UNEP and its partners in the Global Environment Outlook (GEO) report and other integrated environment assessments.
In Africa, the regional Data Portal has already progressed substantially, being compatible with the global Data Portal and envisaged to capture much more data and indicators to serve the GEO process, including the African Environment Outlook and other initiatives in and of the region.
These data sets are always spatially referenced; that is, they carry geographic information that allows them to be used in analyses of both the human and physical environments, typically using GIS and Image Processing (IP) software.

 Grid watch: GGF and grid data
Before you can do anything with data, you have to know where it is and what it is. That means you have to have a metadata system in place to accurately describe the data no matter where it lives -- and this system must work across different environments.
Data virtualization is important because it allows for a kind of mapping between the actual data entities and how they're represented in an abstraction layer.

 Grid computing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grid computing is an emerging computing model that provides the ability to perform higher throughput computing by taking advantage of many networked computers to model a virtual computer architecture that is able to distribute process execution across a parallel infrastructure.
Grids provide the ability to perform computations on large data sets, by breaking them down into many smaller ones, or provide the ability to perform many more computations at once than would be possible on a single computer, by modeling a parallel division of labor between processes.
Grid computing offers a model for solving massive computational problems by making use of the unused resources (CPU cycles and/or disk storage) of large numbers of disparate computers, often desktop computers, treated as a virtual cluster embedded in a distributed telecommunications infrastructure.

 alphaWorks : Grid Wrapper for WebSphere Information Integrator : Overview
Grid Wrapper for WebSphere Information Integrator enables applications that currently access DB2 (or any other RDBMS) to transparently access a fully-distributed database over the grid with minimum changes.
A registry (either XML or relational) key to this wrapper enables the dynamic aspects of the grid to be fully used.
For instance, the registry allows the system to cope with failure by finding the next available database on the grid with similar information; finding this database enables the application to fetch results in parallel from multiple databases or replicas on the grid.
