Embodiment Construction

[0050] One disadvantage of current cloud service options is that there is no "one-stop shopping" for transparently utilizing multiple offers from multiple service providers. Currently, each service provider has a proprietary environment for providing cloud services, and thus has proprietary account management, proprietary data formats, and the like. To make cloud computing useful, users / clients / servers need to be able to know how to seamlessly switch between different clouds in order to access different services and functions from different clouds at the same time. However, due to the lack of interconnection, there is no automatic migration / interoperability between different cloud service providers. For example, users / clients need to use and thus reconfigure different accounts, user interfaces, applications, network connections, payment policies, etc. in order to move between clouds / services. Furthermore, there is no ability to allow users / clients subscribing to different clo...

Abstract

A Cloud federator may be used to allow seamless and transparent access by a Cloud Client to Cloud services. Federation may be provided on various terms, including as a subscription based real-time online service to Cloud Clients. The Cloud federator may automatically and transparently effect communication between the Cloud Client and Clouds and desired services of the Clouds, and automatically perform identity federation. A Service Abstraction Layer (SAL) may be implemented to simplify Client communication, and Clouds / Cloud services may elect to support the SAL to facilitate federation of their services.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to cloud services and virtualization, and more specifically to transparently providing a federated cloud service environment enabling interoperability of multiple incompatible cloud services. Background technique [0002] The phrase "cloud computing" is one of several ways of saying the concept that seeks to provide a diverse set of Internet-based "services" to a wide variety of clients. The term "cloud" is often used to refer to accessing resources on the Internet; cloud computing generally refers to an abstraction of the resources and network infrastructure required to access resources in the cloud. Cloud computing is an "on-demand" environment that includes characteristics previously associated with many utilities and grid computing models. Cloud computing generally seeks to take advantage of ever-increasing computing power and sophistication in computing technology. The terms "service" or "services" are use...
