Multi cloud management for unified cloud services across cloud sites

Abstract

Recently, there is appearing a multi Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud site environment. It makes server users/administrators annoying because each cloud site is managed separately by each cloud owner and they have to make use of cloud sites individually. In this paper, we propose the Multi Cloud Management Platform that locates between cloud users and cloud sites and provides unified cloud services. It can decrease workloads of server users/administrators under a multi IaaS cloud site by a service catalog federation, a collaborative management, and an application virtual server migration services. We implement a prototype system, and show our approach is feasible. © 2011 IEEE.
