Our company's SOA efforts and grid efforts have taken place completely separate from one another, now we're looking to bring them together. From a technical standpoint, where are the best places to look for overlap?

Virtualization and SOA. You have done these separately, but as the SOA activities ramp up, discrete services will need to be maintained and service level agreements met. Is there an opportunity to bring some services into the grid, as standalone containers? Is there the technology to provision additional or few containers to sustain a service demand or lack of demand? Will visibility into service integrity be lost, or diminished in doing so?
