| Summary: "The Outlook For The Distributed Computing Business" analyzes the commercial applications of distributed computing technology. The report focuses on three emerging sectors - peer-to-peer based content delivery, distributed processing (or grid computing), and distributed productivity tools - and examines what they do, the target market for their services, and the value proposition offered to potential customers. The report looks at future demand and price trends, and forecasts revenue growth for each of the three distributed computing sectors. |
| The report addresses the following strategic questions: |
- How will the supply of spare bandwidth and computing power change over the next three years?
- How much revenue will firms generate over the next three years by using peer-to-peer (P2P) technology to deliver digital media to consumers?
- What is grid computing, and how much revenue will it generate?
- How are firms using distributed systems to make workers more productive, and how large will the market become for these services?
|
| "The Outlook For The Distributed Computing Business" uses the following research results to address the above questions: |
- Analysis of the bandwidth, processing and storage capacity actively used by PC owners.
- Data compiled from file-sharing networks and various web sites on the total volume of bandwidth, processor and storage capacity available to PC users.
- Analysis of the bandwidth savings obtained using P2P delivery now and over the next three years.
- The value of raw processing power on grid computing networks based on the price of alternative sources of computing power.
- The value of total processing power used by the SETI@home distributed network.
- The volume of grid computing power potentially available through the Kazaa file sharing network.
- The value of hardware saved by a leading application of grid computing technology.
