Chapter 3. Realizing the Vision

Chapter 2 discussed why there is a need to view the infrastructure on which services are deployed differently. This view leads to the definition of the N1 Grid vision, strategy, and architecture. This chapter discusses the desired properties, attributes, and potential routes to realizing N1 Grid systems. Although much of the text describes N1 Grid systems and the N1 Grid operating environment (N1 Grid OE), the definitions are neither implementations nor product descriptions, nor are they product names.
