There are many industry projects on the standardization of cloud interoperability but none of them have become a widely accepted standard. The next generation service overlay network (NGSON) has its functional architecture defined in IEEE P1903 standard. This architecture provides a framework and essential functions to support IP-based service overlay networks. The functional entities (FEs) of NGSON can support dynamic and static service types, which may be in different domains. Also, the FEs support dynamic routing, delivery of services and content [2]. Thus, NGSON can support cloud wherein NGSON provides uniform routing, delivery and composition for clouds that would be regarded as services. Furthermore, the authentication functionality of NGSON could be used for secure interoperation of multiple clouds. This report makes an effort to describe how NGSON can be used for inter-cloud operations with due importance given to authentication, routing, transfer of contents and composition of services. The report is organized as follows. The background of the technologies, research growth along with standard references is provided in the ‘state of the art’ section followed by ‘research application’ section which focuses on ways the technology helps us achieve our goal. A case scenario is presented to analyze the results. The results of this section help us to write the ethical

The focus of cloud computing is providing with scalable and a cheap on-demand computing infrastructure with a good quality of service levels. The process of the cloud computing involves a set of network enabled services that can be accessed in a simple and general way. Cloud computing provides with a unique value proposition for any organization to outsource their information and communication technology infrastructure. Moreover, the concept itself provides with a value proposition for an organization as using the cloud saves on cost, resources, and staff, and business opportunities for the organization (Katzan). An extensive connectivity of
Cloud computing is a one of the most talked of topics in the field of Information Technology in recent times (Keyun, Joe, Taha, & Ibrahim, 2013). This subject area of cloud computing basically is a term used to describe computer resources available as a service accessible over a network (Darren & Kim-Kwang, 2013). The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) define cloud computing as a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access on a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g. networks, servers, storage, applications and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction (Peter & Timothy, 2011). Due to the attractive nature of the model there has been rise in the use of cloud computing. Gartner, an IT research and consulting firm, says that cloud computing is growing will become the bulk of IT spend by 2016 (Gartner, 2013).
Within the past 10 years our societies technological advantages have been somewhat space age like, even alien like characteristics. Technologies, which ten years ago only existed in our dreams but yet, have become reality. Things like, the revolutionary iPhone and its almost seamless touch-screen tech; as well as the new advancements in our cultures most prized possession, The Internet. In this subject-based paper, I will take a closer look into a fairly new emerging technology, which is simply referred to as…Cloud Technology. The synopsis will cover, what and how cloud technology works, its
Cloud computing is an emerging model where users can gain access to their applications from anywhere through their connected devices. A simplified user interface makes the infrastructure supporting the applications transparent to users. The applications reside in massively-scalable data centers where compute resources can be dynamically provisioned and shared to achieve significant economies of scale. A strong service management platform results in near-zero incremental management costs when more IT resources are added to the cloud. The proliferation of smart mobile devices, high speed wireless connectivity, and rich browser-based Web 2.0 interfaces has made the network-based cloud computing model not only practical but
Internetworks, or the Internet, allow for the remote supplying of IT resources to the people and are directly helpful in network access in far and wide. Cloud consumers can access the cloud using only private and dedicated network links in LANs, although most clouds are Internet-enabled. The Cloud platforms generally grows in parallel with improvement in Internet connectivity and service quality, which leads to its potentiality.
“Cloud” computing is the fanciest buzzword in the computer industry, currently surpassing the last big term “web 2.0”. Every big player in the computer industry launched a cloud service last year. Notable examples are iCloud by Apple, (Apple 2012) or Microsoft Cloud Services (Microsoft 2011), copying various innovators like Google or Dropbox, who offer similar services since much longer. The latter is the most successful
Cloud computing is an emerging technology. With its huge demand, it is rapidly growing. Cloud computing is defined as "a type of Internet-based computing", where different services such as servers, storage and applications are delivered to an organization’s technological infrastructure through the Internet.
Service Providers and enterprises need to ensure that their networks remain a relevant and important part of users’everyday experience, and deliver added value in new and unique ways. How new technologies like cloud, Software Defined Networking (SDN) will help them do this and efficient management across network resources and cloud application. In this paper we have talked about what is Openstack and its importance and briefly explored three major Openstack projects Compute, Storage and Network and discussed their capabilities. Secondly we have mentioned three different approaches of SDN Cloud convergence. How SDN proves useful in cloud environment and achieve high flexibility and higher innovation. The also paper presents an alternate architecture that combines SDN and Cloud Architecture.
Cloud administrations are blasting and organizations are uniting their server farms all together to exploit the consistency, coherence and quality of the service. As the demand of network challenges and traffic increases network operator require new solutions. Software Defined Networking has emerged as the major player with potential solution.
In today’s world each sector of industry need the internet services. The way we enjoy the deep services provided by the internet is only possible because of data centers. They play a critical role for enterprises by helping them expanding their capabilities. Incorporating software abstractions with DCN has helped with the evolution of DCN. As the need for cloud based applications increase so does the need of DCN to work more efficiently increases as well. Because of cloud computing the DCN are growing even larger in size and will grow further more in future. DCN contains thousands of servers. Interconnecting all these servers is the challenge the researchers face. They are generally connected via network interface cards, cables, routers and switches. Placement of all these devices
to note here is the fact that these services are provided over a network. Hence, typical
The first source will be entirely related to the definitions of the terms associated to cloud computing, including The Cloud itself. There are a plethora of terms
Cloud computing is already at the center of new data center evolution because large amounts of information can be stored in cloud. It is actually estimated that 1/3 of all data will go through cloud by 2020. This will lead to a rise in global cloud revenues as well as the amount of money firms spend on cloud computing and innovation. The development will also see many organizations come up with ways to enhance cloud infrastructure to enhance compute density, ultra-low latency and power density. The most common networking attributes of cloud include; low latency, programmable management, scalable, Open APIs and Self-healing resilience. Cloud networking scaling is achieved using topologies from wide ranging nodes that provide non-resistive fabric
Widespread usage of could computing is made possible via the internet. It is the most common way to have access to cloud computing resources. However, there are many people who are not familiar with terminology and concepts. Therefore, they often need to be clarified. The news media representation of cloud computing can be vague or it might not be necessarily fully captured the extend of what cloud computing entails or represents. Cloud users are not familiar with characteristics, models, and services. Therefore, this following section of the research paper introduces layers and types of clouds, exploring the characteristics, service models, and deployment models in use today (“Cloud Computing for Business”, n.d.).
