Grid Computing is all about e-business on demand, which The Grid Layer (TGL) solution addresses. The marketplace fluctuates from customer demands, which forces businesses to dynamically and efficiently respond. TGL meets these challenging marketplace shifts by offering tremendous productivity and efficiency through on-demand IT resources.

What exactly is the TGL solution? TGL, based on Grid or Utility Computing, is the next level in the evolving online world. Think of the technologies developed in the last ten years: distributed computing, websites, peer-to-peer, virtualization. TGL combines features of these technologies to offer computing on-demand through a grid of computers, much like an Utility Company offers electricity as needed. Distributed computing brings resources together, so do Grids. Websites offer the end user a simplified experience, while maintaining the complexity in the backend, which is how Grids operate. Peer-to-peer permits many-to-many file sharing. Likewise, Grids focus on sharing IT resources in order to solve a demanding business need. Virtualization parcels out technology resources to operate as independent logical assets. Similarly, Grids allocate resources to be utilized on-demand independently, but, first, Grids transform a vast array of unrelated IT infrastructure into one whole platform. Basically, Grids display the truth found in the old statement: "The sum of the whole is greater than the parts."
