Answer:

Cloud computing is based on a Client-Server model. Cloud computing is a highly accessible service that utilizes centralized resources. Cloud computing is a pay-as-you-go model, which implies that customers pay for the service they get.

The second one, is a distributed computer model known as Grid Computing. Users in grid computing do not have to pay for the usage of resources in a collaborative manner.

Examples of differences between the two:

  • Cloud computing is a client-server computing architecture, while Cloud Computing is a distributed computing architecture.
  • Cloud computing is a centralized executive, while Grid Computing is a decentralized executive.
  • In Cloud Computing, resources are used in centralized pattern. While in Grid Computing, resources are used in collaborative, shared pattern.
  • Cloud Computing is more flexible than Grid Computing
  • In Cloud Computing, the users pay for the use. Vice versa that is not the case.
  • Cloud Computing is a high accessible service, while Grid Computing is a low accessible service.
  • Cloud Computing can be accessed through standard web protocols, white Grid Computing is accessible through grid middleware.
