Question

Data intensive and network intensive means

Answer 1

Data-intensive computing is a class of parallel computing applications which use a data parallel approach to process large volumes of data typically terabytes or petabytes in size and typically referred to as big data. Computing applications which devote most of their execution time to computational requirements are deemed compute-intensive, whereas computing applications which require large volumes of data and devote most of their processing time to I/O and manipulation of data are deemed data-intensive.[1]

Answer 2

Data-intensive computing is a class of parallel computing applications which use a data parallel approach to process large volumes of data typically terabytes or petabytes in size and typically referred to as big data.
Network intensive is a term that applies to any computing application that requires the resources of a lot of computers, such as grid computing. ... The two types of applications are not necessarily mutually exclusive: some applications are both compute- and computer.
