Abstract

Enterprises adopt the autonomous Grid computing as their ICT infrastructures in order to improve business flexibility and scalability. In this technology adoption process, Grid solution providers take roles as technology deciders and distributors. This paper investigates the effective decision factors that influence enterprises' technology choices through a survey among Grid solution providers. The survey evaluates the relative importance of decision factors using the conjoint analysis method. Survey results show that the interoperability is the most indispensable element to successfully install the Grid in enterprise ICT infrastructures. Based on the findings, this paper explains the market context that impacts the revealed technology choices.
