Introduction
The first three chapters cover systems models and review two enabling technologies. We model distributed systems and cloud platforms in Chapter 1. The clustering technology is presented in Chapter 2, and virtualization technology in Chapter 3. These two technologies enable distributed and cloud computing. The system models include computer clusters, computing grid, P2P networks, and cloud computing platform. System clustering is supported by hardware, software, and middleware advances. Virtualization creates virtual machines, virtualized clusters, automation of datacenters, and building of elastic cloud platforms.
