[AusNOG] Transit over Megaport - who?

Wed Oct 16 12:16:04 EST 2013

Grid Computing, on a scale we haven't seen before :)

We are working on accounting software to measure 'work done' via
Tasktracker in Hadoop.

This would mean providers with spare compute/storage capacity can put their
infrastructure to work and earn whilst it is not 'productive'. On the flip
side it gives us scale we couldn't achieve without having a 9 figure budget.
