Sun was offering its GRID as a service, well now they are planning to offer it as a product too. The USA Today carries an article titled "Sun Touts Grid Computing"

Excerpts:

To act on the gridlinks strategy, Sun officials unveiled two new offerings. For users who want to rent computing power, Sun Connection it provides at a cost of $1 per processor hour. For those who want to set up their own grids within their organizations, the Sun Grid Rack System, starting at $77,000, allows fast deployment.In the near future, "You're going to see a lot of services for the grid, some free, some for a fee," he (Scott Mcnealy) said.

Company officials made several other announcements at the event, including the availability of subscription-based storage and two network management tools, the N1 System Manager and the N1 Service Provisioning System.

Sun has had some trouble finding its feet in recent years, as McNealy said in his presentation today. "We were the 'dot' in dot-com" during the late 1990s, he said. "Then we switched back to being the 'old' in old economy after the bubble burst."
