[Cloud Computing] Grids are normally on-premise, and owned by an organisation, whereas clouds are normally provided by vendors and utilised on an as needs, pay per use basis by many different organisations. Grids do not provide the ability to individually provision servers and the self administration including installing a variety of operating system and software applications on these servers like IaaS does.

[Bina-web.com - Web Tips] 3Tera's Cloud Computing Service with Applogic OS: Grid computing involves building cost effective virtual servers using the resources from multiple administrative domains, with commodity servers being the building blocks of the grid. The Virtual Private Data Center with Applogic, provide greater flexibility to manage resources of the commodity servers, similar to physical access to the commodity servers.
[The Green IT Review] 0 comments - The Green IT Review: To be fair, the Summary of Findings does say “Note that, because Microsoft applications and data centres were the basis of the study, the specific carbon reductions from running other applications from other software providers on a cloud model may vary. However, the trends shown here are instructive and may be used as directional indicators for decision makers in corporate IT and sustainability leadership positions when considering a switch to cloud computing with any provider”.
[Unified Theory of Grid and Computing Clouds] Conference on “Convergence of Distributed Clouds, Grids and their ...: The new multi-core multi-CPU computing architecture allows high bandwidth networking inside the server to exploit the parrallelism. It is therefore, appropriate to reexamine the current computing models and create next generation distributed workflows that leverage the features offered by hardware assisted virtualization, management at the chip level, parallelism, scaling and high-bandwidth wire-line and wireless network connectivity. Dynamic real-time reconfiguration of infrastructure resources is made possible with virtualization technologies. Efficient and dynamic real-time reconfiguration of business processes require new computing and programming models that exploit parallelism and reduce the semantic gap between workflow descriptions at high level and their execution at the chip level.

[Timothy Olson's Blog] Nebulous Cloud | Timothy Olson's Blog: Grid computing does pull together many computers to look like one giant supercomputer. Now we’re talking! This definitely can be useful for solving large problems, but there’s no such thing as a turnkey grid. Grids are useful when you have one large problem to solve (not many little requests like websites have) where the problem is difficult to break into small units. Grid computing has application in scientific domains, in finance, or anytime you are doing something like a very large matrix multiplication. You must write your software to use the grid’s API, and partition the problem smartly.
