Grid computing was created to provide a better cost/performance solution for distributed data processing by sharing network resources. Previously both academia and industry had to develop their own Grid software, and to manage their own network resources. Today we have an alternative for our network resources of CPUs and Storage, it's called Cloud Computing, and we can use it on-demand and pay for it per-use. I hope that this story will illustrate the new upcoming reality of Cloud Computing benefits and risks.
