N1 Grid Systems Realized

Having explored some of the attributes and properties of N1 Grid systems and focused on the N1 Grid OE, this section explores what it means to realize an N1 Grid system. An N1 Grid system can be considered from two perspectives:

  • As a system, which is defined by its attributes—that is, composed of a set of network-distributed hardware and software components that are virtualized and that behave as a single system

    This system is managed as a system, rather than as its discrete, individual components, and it is managed in a service-centric fashion.

  • As a system, which is defined by its implementation—that is, adhering to the N1 Grid principles of operation

    This system is a realization of the N1 Grid architecture in which all ...
