PARAMETERS / KEY DIFFERENCE
GRID COMPUTING
CLOUD COMPUTING
  1. DEFINITION

Grid Computing Consists Of A Large Number Of Computers Which Are Connected Parallel And Forms A Computer Cluster. This Combination Of Connected Computers Uses To Solve A Complex Problem.



Cloud Computing Is Nothing But The Delivery Of Computing Services Such As A Database, Networking, Software, Storage, Servers, And Many More.
  1. BASIC DIFFERENCE

Grid Computing Incorporates Systems In Different Locations Through Wan

Cloud Computing Is Used To Define A New Class Of Computing Based On Network Technology. It Has Integrated And Networked Hardware And Software.
  1. AIM /GOAL/MAIN FOCUS

Grid Computing Focuses On Networks And Hence Has A Large-Scale Goal. It Focuses On Resource Sharing, Pervasive, Uniform, And Reliable Access To Data, Storage Capacity And Computation Power. It Also Focuses On Delivering A Computer As A Utility.

Cloud Computing Mainly Focuses On Reducing Costs And Increase Returns. It Also Has A Goal Of Increasing Scalability Along With Increased Availability And Reliability.
