In this Executive White Paper, Aberdeen analyzes SGE, SGEEE, and LSF and draws the following conclusions: SGE and LSF provide comparable functionality and provide basic resource management for cluster grids; SGEEE is the most comprehensive, cost-effective grid computing solution currently on the market, one that is capable of providing resource management for enterprise grids and aspects of global grids; Sun’s most serious competitors in grid computing - HP (Hewlett-Packard) and IBM are relying heavily on third-party proprietary products from companies such as Platform Computing versus building their own. It is Aberdeen’s perspective that Sun, by leveraging the contributions of the Grid Engine open source project, is able to provide superior functionality at a lower cost. While Sun is ahead of its competition, building its own grid products, it is incorporating concepts developed by the leading research organizations (of which Sun is a primary participant) in grid computing - the open source Globus project (www.globus.org), the Global Grid Forum (GGF), and the Distributed Resource Management Application API (DRMAA) working group (which Sun initiated with Intel and Veridian) within GGF.
