Abstract

ABSTRACT: Cloud computing has evolved in this decade and become an intriguing field of study for researchers. Platforms and architectures are continuing to be developed, and every couple of years, new cloud computing techniques are discovered, with some of them deemed as revolutionary breakthroughs. One of the most amazing aspects of cloud computing is that researchers can develop a service and deliver it to users most likely through the Internet, without the need for an upgrade to the user side hardware. Cloud computing is the most famous but not the only paradigm to offer tremendous compute capability. Another form of comparable computing is grid computing which also offers the capability to process data in less time. This survey reviews both grid and cloud computing in order to clarify the understanding of applications, architecture, and topologies. We analyse three basic delivery models for cloud computing. Finally, we explore about link multiple clouds network, also known as inter-cloud or cloud of clouds.

2014

The present competitive world is characterized by individuals and businesses constantly trying to adapt themselves to progressive technological innovations for competitive advantage to stay ahead of the race. Cloud Computing is one such innovation which has made considerable impact in the market. It is the practice of delivering services over the Internet. These services can be broadly categorized into Infrastructure-as-aService (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). For instance, more and more organizations and individuals are migrating data to the servers on the cloud, thus reaping the benefits of IaaS which eliminates the need of own data centres and lowers maintenance costs. Cloud Computing is the amalgamation of existing technologies like Grid Computing, Utility Computing and several other models. Grid Computing is a form of distributed and parallel computing. In simple terms, it is a set of distributed resources working together to achieve a mut...

The Role of Grid Computing Technologies in Cloud Computing
David Villegas

2010

The fields of Grid, Utility and Cloud Computing have a set of common objectives in harnessing shared resources to optimally meet a great variety of demands cost-effectively and in a timely manner Since Grid Computing started its technological journey about a decade earlier than Cloud Computing, the Cloud can benefit from the technologies and experience of the Grid in building an infrastructure for distributed computing. Our comparison of Grid and Cloud starts with their basic characteristics and interaction models with clients, resource consumers and providers. Then the similarities and differences in architectural layers and key usage patterns are examined. This is followed by an in depth look at the technologies and best practices that have applicability from Grid to Cloud computing, including scheduling, service orientation, security, data management, monitoring, interoperability, simulation and autonomic support. Finally, we offer insights on how these techniques will help solve the current challenges faced by Cloud computing.

A Survey of Current Trends in Distributed, Grid and Cloud Computing
IJASCSE International Journal of Computer Science & Engineering

2013

Through the 1990s to 2012 the internet changed the world of computing drastically. It started its journey with parallel computing after it advanced to distributed computing and further to grid computing. And in present scenario it creates a new world which is pronounced as a Cloud Computing [1]. These all three terms have different meanings. Cloud computing is based on backward computing schemes like cluster computing, distributed computing, grid computing and utility computing. The basic concept of cloud computing is virtualization. It provides virtual hardware and software resources to various requesting programs. This paper gives a detailed description about cluster computing, grid computing and cloud computing and gives an insight of some implementations of the same. We try to list the inspirations for the advent of all these technologies. We also account for some present scenario faults of grid computing and also discuss new cloud computing projects which are being managed by the Government of India for learning. The paper also reviews the existing work and covers (analytically), to some extent, some innovative ideas that can be implemented.

it - Information Technology, 2011

Cloud Computing represents a novel and promising approach for implementing scalable ICT systems for individual-, communities-, and business-use relying on the latest achievements of diverse research areas, such as Grid computing, Service oriented computing, business processes, and virtualization. From the technological point of view Grid computing is considered as the most related predecessor technology of Cloud computing. Although, Cloud and Grid computing differ in many aspects, as for example, in the general idea of the provision of computational resource, which is in Clouds commercial based and in Grids community based, there are many similarities. In this paper we investigate the similarities and differences between Clouds and Grids by evaluating two successful projects, namely for the provision of native hight performance copmputing applications as Grid workflows and for the self-management of Cloud infrastructures. Zusammenfassung Cloud Computing ist eine neuartige Methode für die Implementierung skalierbarer ICT Systeme, die von den Individuen, Gemeinschaften und Geschäftsprozessen benutzt wird. Cloud Computing basiert auf diversen Technologien wie z. B. Grid Computing, Serviceorientierte Architekturen, Geschäftsprozess-Management und Virtualisierung. Von dem technologischen Standpunkt wird Grid Computing als die wichtigste Vorläufertechnologie angesehen. Obwohl Grid und Cloud Infrastrukturen sich in vielen Aspekten unterscheiden, wie z. B. in der Idee wie die Computerressourcen angeboten werden-in Grid basiert dies auf der gemeinsamen Nutzung der Ressourcen in einer Gemeinschaft, in Clouds ist es kommerziell-haben beide Systeme auch sehr viele Gemeinsamkeiten. In dieser Arbeit untersuchen wir die Ähnlichkeiten und Unterschiede zwischen Grid und Cloud Systemen durch die Evaluierung von zwei erfolgreichen Projekten aus beiden Bereichen, nämlich eine Infrastruktur für die Bereitstellung der Hochleistungsapplikationen als Services für Grid und eine Cloud Infrastruktur für das Selbstmanagement der Cloud Applikationen.

Cloud Computing has become another buzzword after Web 2.0. However, there are dozens of different definitions for Cloud Computing and there seems to be no consensus on what a Cloud is. On the other hand, Cloud Computing is not a completely new concept; it has intricate connection to the relatively new but thirteen-year established Grid Computing paradigm, and other relevant technologies such as utility computing, cluster computing, and distributed systems in general. This paper strives to compare and contrast Cloud Computing with Grid Computing from various angles and give insights into the essential characteristics of both.
