What is a Grid? Name “Grid” chosen by analogy with electric power grid.
(Foster and Kesselman 1997) Vision: plug-in computer for processing power just like
plugging in toaster for electricity. Concept has been around for decades
(distributed computing, metacomputing) Key difference with the Grid is to realise the vision on a
global scale.

What is a Grid? “A computational grid is a hardware and software
infrastructure that provides dependable, consistent, pervasive and inexpensive access to high-end computational capabilities” Ian Foster & Carl Kesselman, 1998

Grid architecture Network Layer
Resource Layer
Middleware Layer
Application Layer
7
Grid middleware The Grid relies on advanced
software, called middleware, which interfaces between resources and the applications
Middleware automatically finds the data the scientist needs, and the computing power to analyse it
Middleware balances the load on different resources. It also handles security, accounting, monitoring and much more
8
Grid middleware The Grid middleware:
– Basic services Secure and effective access
to resources
– High level services Optimal use of resources Authentication to the different
sites that are used Job execution & monitoring of
progress Problem recovery Transfer of results back to the
user

Cloud Computing
The interesting thing about Cloud Computing is that we’ve redefined Cloud Computing to include everything that we already do. . . . I don’t understand what we would do differently in the light of Cloud Computing other than change the wording of some of our ads.
Oracle’s CEO Larry Ellison,
quoted in the Wall Street Journal, September 26, 2008

Cloud Computing
A lot of people are jumping on the [cloud] bandwagon, but I have not heard two people say the same thing about it. There are multiple definitions out there of “the cloud.”
Hewlett-Packard’s Vice President of European Software SalesAndy Isherwood,
quoted in ZDnet News, December 11, 2008

Cloud Computing
Cloud Computing refers to both the applications delivered as services over the Internet and the hardware and systems software in the datacenters that provide those services.
The services themselves have long been referred to as Software as a Service (SaaS).
