The basics基础知识
Grid computing is a form of distributed computing that involves coordinating and sharing computing, application, data, storage, or network resources across dynamic and geographically dispersed organizations. Grid technologies promise to change the way organizations tackle complex computational problems. However, the vision of large scale resource sharing is not yet a reality in many areas — Grid computing is an evolving area of computing, where standards and technology are still being developed to enable this new paradigm.
网格计算是分布式计算的一种形式，它包括对遍及动态及地理上分散的组织进行协调、共享计算、应用程序、数据、存储或网络资源。网格技术承诺将改变组织处理复杂计算问题的方式。但不管怎样，对大规模资源共享的想象在许多领域尚未变成现实——网格计算是计算上的一个演变领域，标准和技术还在为此种新样式的实行而发展着。
Why is it important?GC为什么这么重要？
Time and Money. Organizations that depend on access to computational power to advance their business objectives often sacrifice or scale back new projects, design ideas, or innovations due to sheer lack of computational bandwidth. Project demands simply outstrip computational power, even if an organization has significant investments in dedicated computing resources.
Even given the potential financial rewards from additional computational access, many enterprises struggle to balance the need for additional computing resources with the need to control costs. Upgrading and purchasing new hardware is a costly proposition, and with the rate of technology obsolescence, it is eventually a losing one. By better utilizing and distributing existing compute resources, Grid computing will help alleviate this problem.
是因为时间和金钱。依靠计算机能力来进行业务活动的组织经常要放弃新项目、构思或者新思路，就是因为太缺乏计算带宽。即使一个组织给计算资源上投入了可观的资金，项目的需求也大大超过了计算能力。
即使从额外的计算中能获得潜在的经济回报，许多企业也要在控制成本和增加计算资源两方面进行权衡。购买硬件和进行升级都是很费钱的事。而且由于技术淘汰率的关系，这最后就成了件浪费的事。为了更好的利用和分配计算资源，网格计算就可以帮助缓解这个问题。
Delivering grid benefits today今天就来传递网格的好处
Many companies want to take advantage of the cost and efficiency benefits that come from a grid infrastructure today, without being locked in to a system that will not grow with their needs.
To provide customers the solution they need, United Devices tackled the complex security, scalability and unobtrusiveness issues required for a superior enterprise grid, while building towards the open standards of the GGF. By embracing these standards, United Devices lets our customers move toward compatibility with future grid technologies and adopt upcoming technologies as they are developed while delivering the promises and benefits of the grid today.
The Grid MP platform by United Devices works by amalgamating the underutilized IT resources on a corporate network into a powerful enterprise grid that can be shared by groups across the organization — even geographically disparate groups. The most common corporate technology asset, desktop PCs, are also the most underutilized, often only using 10% of their total compute power even when actively engaged in their primary business functions. By harnessing these plentiful underused computing assets and leveraging them for revenue-driving projects, the Grid MP platform provides immediate value for companies who want to move forward with their grid strategies without limiting any future grid developments.
The benefits of building an enterprise grid with Grid MP platform include:
现今许多公司都想利用网格基础结构在成本和效率上带来的好处，这样就不必被禁锢在一个不能随他们的心愿发展的系统中了。
为了能向顾客提供所需的解决方法，UD在建立面向GGF的开放标准的同时，解决了高级企业网格所需求的复杂的安全、可测量性和不可见的事件问题。接受了这些标准后，在今天传递着网格的承诺和好处的同时，UD让我们的顾客向着兼容未来网格技术和采纳即将到来的发展完善的技术前进。
UD的网格MP平台依靠整合公共网络上未被充分利用的IT资源来进行工作，从而成为一个强大的商业网格，可以给整个组织的各小组共享——即使是不同地理位置的小组。最常见的公共技术资源、桌面PC，也是最少被充分利用的，就算是在投入他们主要的商业运作时通常也只使用了总计算能力的10%。为了发挥这些丰富的、未被充分利用的计算资源，以对利益驱动项目产生影响，网格MP平台为想实施其网格策略而不限制任何未来网格发展的公司带来了即时的价值。
以网格MP平台建立一个商业网格的好处包括：
Lower Computing Costs更低廉的计算成本
On a price-to-performance basis, the Grid MP platform gets more work done with less administration and budget than dedicated hardware solutions. Depending on the size of your network, the price-for-performance ratio for computing power can literally improve by an order of magnitude.
从性价比来说，网格MP平台比专用硬件解码更节约管理和预算，且工作的完成数量也多。根据你的网络容量，计算能力的性价比率按重要性的顺序有巨大提升。
Faster Project Results更快得到项目结果
The extra power generated by the Grid MP platform can directly impact an organization's ability to win in the marketplace by shortening product development cycles and accelerating research and development processes.
由网格MP平台产生的附加计算能力通过缩短产品研制周期和加速科研进程来直接影响一个组织在市场上获胜的能力。
Better Product Results更优良的产品结论
Increased, affordable computing power means not having to ignore promising avenues or solutions because of a limited budget or schedule. The power created by the Grid MP platform can help to ensure a higher quality product by allowing higher-resolution testing and results, and can permit an organization to test more extensively prior to product release.
增长的、可接受的计算能力意味着不必因为计划中限制预算而不能走一些有前途的路，不能采纳一些好解决办法。
Why United Devices?为什么是UD呢？
Focused and Proven Technology. There may be other companies that offer PC or enterprise grid computing, but none that can boast the full range of technical expertise in this revolutionary field. United Devices stands apart for several reasons:
是因为目标明确且已被证明了的技术。可能有些其它的公司也提供PC和企业网格计算，但没有一个在这个变革的领域能保有全部的专业技术知识。
UD之所以突出有几个原因：
Focused Technology目标明确的技术
The Grid MP platform is a comprehensive architecture that was built from the ground up to tackle the unique challenges of security, scalability, and manageability in distributed computing. Development was focused on creating more productive and efficient use of computing resources an enterprise environment today while maintaining interoperability with future grid technologies.
网格MP平台是一个综合性的架构，是分布式计算建立在从基础应用直到解决特别的安全、可测量性和可管理性的挑战上的。今天的发展是在与未来网格技术保持共用性的同时集中于创造更高产更有效的计算资源和企业环境。
Unparalleled Experience他人不能相比的经验
United Devices' technology was built with the knowledge and experience of industry pioneers. Only the UD team can boast direct responsibility for the creation and success of the largest and most successful distributed computing projects in history. Our development team includes the director of the renowned SETI@home project, and the core development group of distributed.net.
UD的技术是以行业领先的知识和经验建立起来的。只有UD小组才可以自豪的称自己创造了历史上最巨大最成功的分布式计算项目。我们的开发小组包括闻名的SETI@home项目主管，及distributed.net的核心开发组。
Proven Security, Scalability, and Success已被证明了的安全性和可测量性，还有，就是成功
