Drivers and Barriers in China

DRIVERS Move Grid from complex scientific computing to commercial

applications. Focus on main sectors: Finance, Insurance, Real Estate,

Manufacturing, Professional Business services and Entertaiment industry

Need of complete Grid solutions. Ability of virtualization. New applications

BARRIERS Lack of standards Grid is a complex system and needs many skilful engineers to

maintain Enterprises treat new technology with less enthusiasm than they

used to do before
