BioSurveillance and the Holy Grid - Does It Compute?

Tags: blade servers, bi, computing, middleware

Overview The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention currently use Base SAS and SAS BI (OLAP, Portal, WebReport Studio) for the BioSense Application. Despite all caveats, the search for technology silver bullets continues in every field. The concept of a grid of computing resources originated in the 1970's, and has re-emerged in the 90's and this century as computing power, networks and middleware capabilities advanced to support it. Grid computing can provide a powerful backbone for healthcare research issues. However, establishing a grid is not just a matter of clustering large numbers of disks or blade servers, nor is it a solution for every public health issue. Grid-like resource usage can enable systems not typically associated with massively parallelizable problems to achieve higher levels of availability and reliability.
