Research into grid computing has been driven by the need to solve
large-scale, increasingly complex problems for scientific
applications. Yet the applications of grid computing for business
and casual users did not begin to emerge until the development of
the concept of cloud computing, fueled by advances in
virtualization techniques, coupled with the increased availability
of ever-greater Internet bandwidth. The appeal of this new paradigm
is mainly based on its simplicity, and the affordable price for
seamless access to both computational and storage resources. This
timely text/reference introduces the fundamental principles and
techniques underlying grids, clouds and virtualization
technologies, as well as reviewing the latest research and expected
future developments in the field. Readers are guided through the
key topics by internationally recognized experts, enabling them to
develop their understanding of an area likely to play an ever more
significant role in coming years. Topics and features: presents
contributions from an international selection of experts in the
field; provides a thorough introduction and overview of existing
technologies in grids, clouds and virtualization, including a brief
history of the field; examines the basic requirements for
performance isolation of virtual machines on multi-core servers,
analyzing a selection of system virtualization technologies;
examines both business and scientific applications of grids and
clouds, including their use in the life sciences and for
high-performance computing; explores cloud building technologies,
architectures for enhancing grid infrastructures with cloud
computing, and cloud performance; discusses energy aware grids and
clouds, workflows on grids and clouds, and cloud and grid
programming models. This useful text will enable interested readers
to familiarize themselves with the key topics of grids, clouds and
virtualization, and to contribute to new advances in the field.
Researchers, undergraduate and graduate students, system designers
and programmers, and IT policy makers will all benefit from the
material covered.
