Grid Computing :
Grid Computing is a processor architecture that combines computer resources from various domains to reach a main objective. In grid computing, the computers on the network can work on a task together, thus functioning as a supercomputer.

Cluster Computing :
Cluster Computing is the form of computing in which a group of computers are linked together , so they act like Entity.It is the technique of linking two or more computers into a network .

Definitions
|
In cluster computing, a bunch of similar (or identical) computers
are hooked up locally (in the same physical
Location, directly connected with very high speed connections)
to operate as a
Single computer
|
In grid computing, the computers do not have to be in the
same physical location and can be operated independently. As far as
Other computers are concerned each computer on the grid
is a
Distinct computer.
|
In cloud computing, the computers need not to be in the
same physical
Location.

No single system image
|
Yes, but optionally include Single system image
|
Pricing
|
Limited pricing of services but
not open market
|
Pricing of services is
dominated by public good or privately
Assigned
|
Utility pricing, discounted
for larger customers
|
Potential
|
Potential for building 3rd party or value-added solutions
is limited due to
Rigid architecture
|
Potential for building 3rd party or value-added solutions
is limited due to strong orientation for
Scientific Computing
|
High potential - can create new services by dynamically
provisioning
Of compute, storage, and application services and offer
as their own isolated
Or composite Cloud services to users
|
Capacity
|
Stable and guarantee
capacity
|
Varies, but high capacity
|
Provisioned on demand
capacity
|
Failure management
|
Failure management (Self-healing) is limited (often failed
tasks/applications are restarted
|
Failure management (Self-healing) is limited (often failed
tasks/applications are restarted).
|
Strong support for fail over and content
Replication. Vms can be easily
Migrated from one node to other.
