Grid technologies have successfully been applied to many different and complex business challenges in a number of sectors. Among the example success stories available, the resilience, performance, scalability and flexibility of Grid computing are constant themes. Unsurprisingly, the case studies of successful implementations of Grid computing are most common in those industries with complex processing of large data sets, where the speed, agility and stability of the IT systems is directly tied to competitive advantage: the financial sector, the pharmaceutical sector and the engineering sector.
Grid computing case studies from the financial sector include Shinhan Bank, UniCredit Group, Hartford Life, HSBC, Merrill Lynch and Genworth

The need for researchers to be at the forefront of medical science requires massive simulations of molecular interactions and genetic sequencing. Grid computing allows such firms as Incyte Genomics and Applied Biosystems to optimise their systems for the detailed modelling that dominates their industry.
