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.

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.

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

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.

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 ...

Grid computing is the concept of using computers in the way that utilities use power grids to tap the unused capacity of a vast array of linked systems. Users can then share computing power ...

Financial institutions (FIs) are now expanding their on-premises grid computing capabilities and taking advantage of the storage capabilities that the cloud offers, in addition to agile processing ...

The cloud could be a next generation platform that provides dynamic resource pools, virtualization and high availability. In beginning the construct of the Distributed Computing and also the Grid ...

Finally, the project organised a series of workshops around the topic of grid computing marketplaces and the economics of cloud computing.

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.
