Questions and Answers

What is the main concept behind service-oriented architecture (SOA)?

  • Combining computer resources spread over different geographical locations
  • Pooling together unused resources on multiple computers
  • Using software components called services to create business applications (correct)
  • Charging clients a fixed rate for computing resources
  • In what way does grid computing differ from utility computing?

  • Grid computing involves on-demand service provisioning, while utility computing pools resources.
  • Utility computing requires fixed charges, while grid computing charges based on consumption.
  • Grid computing combines computer resources for a common goal, while utility computing offers resources on demand. (correct)
  • Utility computing focuses on achieving common goals, while grid computing offers services as needed.
  • What distinguishes utility computing from traditional fixed-rate service models?

  • Utility computing charges based on resource consumption rather than a flat rate. (correct)
  • Utility computing operates based on a predetermined fixed charge regardless of usage.
  • Traditional models offer services across platforms, unlike utility computing.
  • Traditional models pool resources for multiple tasks, whereas utility computing does not.
