Cloud computing is one of the latest buzz in the business and computer industry. The evolution and advancement in cloud computing is one of the major developments in the computing area. Cloud computing has helped businesses to virtually use computer infrastructure, services and platforms as per their requirements with reduced cost. Cloud computing has not only become the part of computing industry but also is widely accepted by different industries. Though cloud computing adoption has been greatly increasing still there are major risks associated with it that limits its acceptance in few industries such as financial services and Banking.

Grid Computing Some consider this to be the “the third information technology wave” after the Internet and Web, and will be the backbone of the next generation of services and applications that are going to further the research and development of GIS and related areas. Grid computing allows for the sharing of processing power, enabling the attainment of high performances in computing, management and services. Grid computing, (unlike the conventional supercomputer that does parallel computing by linking multiple processors over a system bus) uses a network of computers to execute a program. The problem of using multiple computers lies in the difficulty of dividing up the tasks among the computers, without having to reference portions of the code being executed on other CPUs. Parallel processing Parallel processing is the use of multiple CPU’s to execute different sections of a program together. Remote sensing and surveying equipment have been providing vast amounts of spatial information, and how to manage, process or dispose of this data have become major issues in the field of Geographic Information Science (GIS). To solve these problems there has been much research into the area of parallel .. more»
