Grid computing utilizes virtualization and clustering techniques to consolidate workloads, enabling pay-as-you-go scaling and automated management. This reduces capital and operating expenses while improving quality of service, user productivity, and staff efficiency. Oracle provides a complete grid stack across all tiers from database to storage to middleware to management.
