Grid vs. Parallel vs. Distributed

Hello all,

I was wondering if someone could either explain or maybe point me to another article somewhere that explains the difference between:

distributed computing
grid computing
parallel computing

I see these terms thrown around a lot in server and cluster environments, but I'd like a solid explanation of what each technology does exactly and the pros/cons to each solution.

Thanks.

NAME
xcp-xapi - XCP's XenAPI server DESCRIPTION
The Xen Cloud Platform (XCP) is an open source enterprise-ready server virtualization and cloud computing platform, with support for a range of guest operating systems, Linux network and storage support. XCP addresses the needs of cloud providers, hosting services and data centers by combining the isolation and multitenancy capabilities of the Xen hypervisor with enhanced security, storage and network virtualization technologies to offer a rich set of virtual infrastructure cloud services. The platform also address user requirements for security, availability, performance and isolation across both private and public clouds. XCP consolidates server workloads, enables savings in power, cooling, and management costs and thus contributing to environmentally sus- tainable computing, an increased ability to adapt to ever-changing IT environments, an optimized use of existing hardware, and an improved level of IT reliability. This is the XenAPI server, which provides the control plane for XCP hosts and resource pools. To manage the XenAPI server, you should use either the XML-RPC based API, the xe command line tool, or a graphical user interface such as OpenXenManager. SYNOPSIS

The full documentation for xcp-xapi is maintained as a Texinfo manual. If the info and xcp-xapi programs are properly installed at your site, the command info xcp-xapi should give you access to the complete manual. xcp-xapi version 1.3 December 2011 XCP-XAPI(1)
