Samenvatting
Computing Networks explores the core of the new distributed computing infrastructures we are using today: the networking systems of clusters, grids and clouds. It helps network designers and distributed–application developers and users to better understand the technologies, specificities, constraints and benefits of these different infrastructures communication systems.
Cloud Computing will give the possibility for millions of users to process data anytime, anywhere, while being eco–friendly. In order to deliver this emerging traffic in a timely, cost–efficient, energy–efficient, and reliable manner over long–distance networks, several issues such as quality of service, security, metrology, network–resource scheduling and virtualization are being investigated since 15 years. Computing Networks explores the core of clusters, grids and clouds networks, giving designers, application developers and users the keys to better construct and use these powerful infrastructures.
