Consequently, many enterprises are restricted in deploying innovative applications that could potentially create competitive advantage.” The Yankee Group*** January 5, 2005 ***Source: The Yankee Group, Considerable Savings Are Possible Using Grid Computing and Virtualization Technologies, Research Notes, Corsello, Jason.
