Abstract:
Currently, collaboration or federation among Cloud providers is gaining popularity in the research community. However, the existing federation models are designed for static environments where a priori agreements among the parties are needed to establish the federation. Hence these models are not applicable for open Cloud federation scenario in near future. This paper presents the basis for developing advanced and efficient horizontal collaborative Cloud service approach called Horizontal Dynamic Cloud Collaboration (HDCC) in which Cloud providers (smaller, medium, and large) of homogeneous service requirements will collaborate themselves to gain economies of scale and an enlargement of their capabilities to meet QoS targets of Cloud service requirements. In this context, this paper addresses architectural framework and principles for the development of HDCC platform. It describes the components, architectural features, use cases,and formation of dynamic collaborating arrangements. The
challenges and core technical issues to implement HDCC are also discussed.
