ABOUT BEinGRID

BEinGRID, Business Experiments in GRID, is the European Union’s largest integrated project funded by the Information Society Technologies (IST) research, part of the EU’s sixth research Framework Programme (FP6).
The BEinGRID consortium is composed of 95 partners who are running 25 Business Experiments (BEs) designed to implement and deploy Grid solutions in industrial key sectors.

BEinGRID Demonstrators and Use Cases

The 25 BEs stand as a reference point for other users.
By highlighting the scenario, solution and result for each one of these cases, developing missing software and releasing best practice guides, the project encourages other end users in a similar situation to investigate the role that Grid technology could have for them. 

Check out the two successful uses of the Grid demonstrated here as real business scenario: 
Grid Computer Aided Engineering (GridCAE) story describes how ICON, a CAE consultancy company, enhanced and extended its client offering by using  the Grid to access remote compute resources.
Grid for Architects explains how CETIC built a portal offering on-demand Grid rendering services, providing substantial cost savings to their clients.

 

Read the BEinGRID Case Studies booklet "BEinGRID - Better Business Using Grid Solutions - Eighteen Successful Case Studies Using Grid" which has been published, detailing the first 18 of these cases, explaining the solution adopted and highlighting the benefits for clients.
