Differences SGE vs N1

The sentence "Sun also sells a commercial product based on SGE, also known as N1 Grid Engine (N1GE)." contains one "also" too many, I think, and I don't really understand the meaning.

The page linked to in the external links section

does not contain the word N1.

So: How does N1 relate to SGE? A little investigation on Sun's web site. I went to http://www.sun.com/software/gridware/ and searched for N1. Up came a link called "Sun N1 Grid Engine 6.1", which led back to the same page. It seems that they have stopped using the name N1, at least for this product. They have something called "Sun N1 Service Provisioning System".

I have Sun Grid Engine 6.1 update 3. When I start the tool qmon, it brings up a splash screen with the name "N1 (tm) Grid Engine". --HelgeStenstrom (talk) 08:25, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sun N1 Grid Engine is the former name of Sun Grid Engine. "Sun Grid Engine Enterprise Edition 5.3" transitioned to "Sun N1 Grid Engine 6.0" transitioned to "Sun Grid Engine 6.1". The current version (at the time of this post) is Sun Grid Engine 6.2 update 2. Grid Engine is the name of the open source project and follows the same version numbering as Sun Grid Engine, e.g. Grid Engine 6.2u2 is the same source base as Sun Grid Engine 6.2u2. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.18.43.225 (talk) 15:51, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
