hello,

I am considering a new project that is related to big data.
assume we have data on several distributed server.
current common approach is:
downloading these data from servers to local side and process them.
however data is big but program is small.
if the data is 1GB order, this approach is practically infeasible.
9grid enables opposite approach:
login to servers and process the data there and gather the results.
we have all the tools that are necessary to do this as much as 10 years ago.
what is lacking is target data.
any idea?
