Grids, Clouds, and Data Centers

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Introduction to Computer Networking

Abstract

Grid, cloud, and data center technologies are discussed. Grids allow distributed computation for applications such as scientific computing. Clouds are used for more prosaic applications such as those that arise in business, social media, search, and more. Data centers, centralized collections of thousands of servers, support grid and cloud computation. This chapter provides an introductory look at these three technologies.
