Difference between Cloud Computing and Grid Computing
Cloud
Computing:
Cloud Computing is a Client-server computing
architecture. In cloud computing, resources are used in centralized pattern and
cloud computing is a high accessible service. It is a pay and use business
means, in cloud computing, the users pay for the use
Grid
Computing:
Grid Computing is a Distributed computing
architecture. In grid computing, resources are used in collaborative pattern,
and also in grid computing, the users do not pay for use.
Let’s
see the difference between cloud and grid computing which are given
below:

It is more flexible
than grid computing. |
While it is less
flexible than cloud computing. |
|
In cloud computing, the
users pay for the use. |
While in grid computing,
the users do not pay for use. |
|
Cloud computing is a
high accessible service. |
While grid computing is
a low accessible service. |
|
It is highly scalable as
compared to grid computing. |
While grid computing is
low scalable in comparison to cloud computing. |
|
It can be accessed
through standard web protocols. |
While it is accessible
through grid middleware. |
