Abstract
This paper deals with a topic that is virtually new to the world of networking & database. Over the last two to three years, a major focus of companies regarding their IT usage has been to make more efficient use of current resources. Islands of computing within organizations have grown, and these, by their very nature, make inefficient use of IT resources. Companies simply buy more hardware when key servers get near capacity rather than seeking the ways of using current resources effectively.
Grid computing has created quite a buzz because it actively addresses this issue.
It provides an adaptive software infrastructure that makes efficient use of low-cost servers and modular storage.
· Grid technology as a means of lowering the cost of equally powerful traditional equipment, along with potential to raise the effective performance to reap additional benefits.
· Grid computing can provide cost savings as an alternative to building a company’s own hardware, storage and networking infrastructure.
Grid is an infrastructure that involves the integrated and collaborative use of computers, networks, databases and scientific instructions owned and managed by multiple organizations.
A flavor of distributed computing where one can harness idle CPU cycles and storage space of tens, hundreds or thousands of networked systems to work together on a particularly processing-intensive problem is the foundation for a current model of computing called ‘Grid Computing’.
The goal is to create the illusion of a simple yet large and self managing virtual computer over a large collection of connected heterogeneous systems sharing…………….So on ..........(download any of the following links to get complete paper presentation in word document)
