Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the efficacy of using the Inferno operating system to set up a simple data grid.

Design/methodology/approach

The paper demonstrates the set up and concepts of a simple data grid using the Inferno operating system.

Findings

The research finds that a secure but simple data grid can be set up to access documents wherever they may be.

Practical implications
