GridCAE - Introduction

The GridCAE demo is based on the key story which explains the business benefits of using the Grid and a technical demonstration of how Grid technology was employed. Both a presentation including a technical demonstration and rolling video demos are available.

The presentation is composed of the following sections:

• Background
• Technical Overview
• Demonstration
• Business Case
• Conclusion

These sections are stand-alone and can be customised for the expected audience. The demonstration can be given live, or a pre-recorded video can be used. The live version requires some software to be installed plus an internet connection and web browser.

The video demos are stand-alone videos covering the business case, technical details and an annotated run-through of the technical demonstration. They are designed to be left running unattended so that they can be shown at booths during conferences or other events.
