Project: Butterfly.net

Description: Butterfly.net, an IBM-backed company using Grid technology to run online games, was formed last year to tackle the growing logistical challenges behind hosting online games, which can have tens of thousands of concurrent players and require hundreds of servers. Butterfly uses a Globus Toolkit-based approach, in which multiple servers work together as a virtual supercomputer, seamlessly shifting processing tasks among individual machines. Games have instant access to additional server space and other resources as they attract more players. IBM provides servers, physical space and software for the Butterfly project, which uses the Grid to make networked computing more reliable and efficient. Publishers of multiplayer PC games use Butterfly's software to create online components and pay the service a hosting fee that varies according to usage. But the service is perfect for the Sony's PlayStation 2, which began supporting online play earlier this year
