Grid computing is a method of harnessing the power of many
computers in a network to solve problems requiring a large number
of processing cycles and involving huge amounts of data.
What is Grid Computing?
In grid computing
modal servers or
personal computers
run independent task
and are linked by
Ethernet or an
internet network.

How grid computing works?
GRID COMPUTING
In general, a grid computing system requires:
At least one computer, usually a server, which handles all the administrative
duties for the System.
A network of computers running special grid computing network software.
A collection of computer
software called middleware.
The middleware does all the
works in connecting users
thereby hiding there grid
complexity.

TYPES OF GRID
1. DATA GRID:- It deals with the controlled sharing and management of
distributed data of large amount.
2. CPU or PROCESSOR GRID:- here the processing is moved from one PC
to another as a large task is divided into subsets and allotted to
various nodes.

The following are the major business areas for grid
computing
Life sciences – analyze biological and chemical information.
Financial services- for complex financial models.
Higher education – data and computation-intensive research.
Engineering services – collaborative design and data-intensive testing.
Government – collaboration and agility in both civil and military
departments
