The Globus Alliance is a community of organizations and individuals developing fundamental technologies behind the “Grid,” which lets people share computing power, databases, instruments, and other on-line tools securely across corporate, institutional, and geographic boundaries without sacrificing local autonomy.
The Globus Toolkit, being developed by the Globus Alliance and others worldwide, is an open-source software toolkit used for building Grid systems and applications. A growing number of projects and companies use the Globus Toolkit to unlock the potential of grids for their cause.
