Abstract

P2P computing has opened up exciting new possibilities by extending the boundaries of scale, creating virtual supercomputers enabling computing in the large, providing gigantic storage clusters and specialized search engines based on shared content and information. However, the P2P revolution has left the large enterprises, small and medium businesses and other organizations largely untouched. These organizations also require access to specialized computing infrastructure, secure scalable storage and to collaborate with other organizations on joint projects or share mutually beneficial information. This research paper proposes to extend the power of P2P networks/computing across enterprises, indicating some possible applications and their benefits, providing an insight into some challenges which need addressing and finally presenting a viable framework which shall enable the realization of the Peer Enterprises concept.
