Differences between cloud computing and grid computing

Grid computing vs. cloud computing:

The two conditions for grid and cloud computing are two types of resource sharing techniques where multiple computing devices and generally the Internet are involved. Although cloud computing has brought some features from grid computing, both will not be confused.

Grid Computing:

Grid computing is a form of computing computing where a virtual computing system is compiled by performing a large computing task using many compositing connected computing devices. They are linked together because they can be from multiple administrative areas together to combine computing resources to reach a common goal. The goal can usually be a single problem - usually a scientific one for a technical problem that requires a large amount of processing to perform a huge data set. A prominent example for grid computing in the public domain is the SETI @ HOME project where a large number of Internet users share their unused processor cycles to perform a scientific test of the Search for Extra-terrestrial Intelligence (SETI).

Cloud is a common term used to refer to the Internet. A cloud device uses machines to represent the Internet in computer network diagrams or flowcharts. Cloud computing refers to any computing service provided on a system hosted on the Internet. The service provided may be within an infrastructure, platform or software service. The main feature of cloud computing is that the service is fully managed by the service provider (the service is hosted) and the user requires minimal benefits of personal computer and internet access. Due to the fact that the service provider hosts the services, they are provided to users in a simple manner where it is not necessary to understand how the services are made available. Examples of services (under the Software Services section) are web-based email, Emang Cloud Player can be anything from a human resource management system to an enterprise asset planning system. Examples of cloud computing systems are Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google's GO Cloud.

Overview:

Grid computing is a distributed methodology that is combined with the goal of providing computing resources to reach a common goal on most connected computers.

Cloud computing is any computing service operated and operated by the service provider on the Internet.
