Executive Summary

Forrester surveyed 149 large companies in North America to learn about their knowledge and use of grid technologies.

Another 30% of firms are considering grid technology, so two-thirds of all firms are using or interested in grid technology. "Grid" has become a trendy term that no longer has one meaning.
