Grid computing is a
computer network in which the systems' resources such as memory,
processing speed and power, or data storage is shared. Authorized
users can tap these shared resources to perform their own tasks. A
grid computing system can be as simple as a collection of similar
computers running on the same operating system or as complex as
inter-networked systems comprised of every computer platform you can
think of.
Suppose there are 50
computers in a company. Instead of one person accessing the power and
performance of just one computer, the performance of all the 50
computers can be shared by the users. . In distributed computing,
different computers within the same network share one or more
resources. In a good grid computing system, almost all the resources
are shared. This makes the grid computer work like a super computer.
There may not be any difference in the way the user works when they
use a grid computing system. Every authorized computer would have
access to enormous processing power and storage capacity with a
simple user interface.
Grid Computing is a
concept that is constantly evolving. It's also not yet perfected.
Like any other technology platforms computer scientists, and
engineers are still working on developing and establishing new
standards and protocols. Once a reliable protocol is created ,
consumers need not depend upon private or proprietary software and
tools.
