Discussion 1 : First e-activity:
• Use the Internet or Strayer's online library to research grid computing projects and how they are being used to solve complex scientific problems. Use BOINC's Website,for further information on grid computing projects. Be prepared to discuss.
Second e-activity:
• Go to IBM's Website and read "Inside the hybrid cloud, Part 1: Redefine services and delivery methods". Be prepared to discuss.
"Cloud Computing" Please respond to the following:
1. From the first e-Activity, examine the grid computing concept and discuss ways it can be used to solve complex scientific problems. Determine how similar approaches may be used in community projects (i.e., distributed digital music archives and libraries).
2. From the second e-Activity, compare and contrast public, private, and hybrid clouds. Analyze how enterprises could modify their processes and organizational structures to support these varying cloud services.
