Grid computing has the potential of drastically changing enterprise computing as one knows it today. The main concept of Grid computing is to see computing as a utility. It should not matter where data resides, or what computer processes a task. This concept has been applied successfully to academic research. It also has many advantages for commercial data warehouse applications such as virtualization, flexible provisioning, reduced cost due to commodity hardware, high availability and high scale-out. In this paper one shows how a large-scale, high performing and scalable Grid based data warehouse can be implemented using commodity hardware (industry standard x86- based), Oracle Database 10G and Linux operating system.
