[edit] BaseN Platform

The BaseN Platform is recognized as one of the world's first commercially successful services that is based on distributed grid computing technologies. Typical implementations of the BaseN Platform retain their operational capabilities even when 50% of the distributed hardware is malfunctioning or unreachable in the networked grid. Member nodes of the BaseN Platform grid continuously negotiate their tasks with each other in order to optimize the whole system.
