Most offices are not populated outside normal working hours, 8am to 4pm on working days, this implies that the computing resources are unused about 128 out of 168 hours each week. The vision of MESH-Technologies is to allow for the constructive use of these hours of wasted time. Would you allow any other of your company's resources to be utilized less than 10%? (according to Microsoft SIGMetrics paper, 1998-2000) OfficeGRID glues this pool of unused computational power together, thus making in possible to utilize a great percentage of that otherwise unused computer time.
