Cloud computing and Grid computing are the two words that end up confusing many people as they are similar in theory. We explain the differences.

However, the vast amount of data needed to operate today’s grid requires the scale and speed of cloud computing to gather, analyze and derive the necessary insights for a more modern grid.

With roots in computer clustering and grid computing, the technology that first sprouted during the ASP era of the late 1990s is now the computing topic du jour.

By introducing private cloud management capabilities, armed with standard host repurposing tools, any types of grid deployments can go from being static to dynamic.

Maybe someday we'll just call it 'data processing' again Feature In IT, terms and categories come and go. Distinctions ...

Recently I had a few discussions with people looking at leveraging the cloud. They were looking at extending their own compute farm by establishing a VPN to a public cloud and borrowing computing ...

Ian Foster is widely considered the founder of grid computing, the precursor to cloud computing. Foster is the Arthur Holly Compton Distinguished Service Professor of Computer Science at the ...

Data replication is a cornerstone of modern distributed computing, crucial for ensuring high availability, fault tolerance, and rapid data access in both cloud and grid environments. Contemporary ...

David Pallmann shows how to perform grid computations on the Azure cloud computing platform. In Part 1 he presents a design pattern, while Part 2&3 will contain a concrete code example.

Cloud computing not a disruptive technology in and of itself, but a disruptive IT delivery model which leverages key technology ideas to deliver IT in a much more efficient model.
