Grid Computing

• This is a form of distributed computing Whereby a
  super and virtual computer is composed of
  networked, loosely-coupled computers, acting in
  concert to perform a very large task

Grid Computing Environments

• Resource Management Challenges
• Grid Computing Principles
• Grid Components

Resource Management Challenge

• The grid environment contains heterogeneous
  resources. Managing these resources is a complex
  job, traditional approach of centralized system
  network design is impossible to implement. So a
  distributed approach is followed to manage the
  resource.

Conclusion

• Grids are emerging as the infrastructure for next
  generation computing. In Grid environment, it is
  envisioned that the use of distributed method
  would help a lot in future cost effective
  computational needs of the new technology driven
  world.
