Most of the current cloud computing platforms offer Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) model, which aims to provision basic virtualized computing resources as on-demand and dynamic services. Nevertheless, a single cloud does not have limitless resources to offer to its users, hence the notion of an Inter-Cloud environment where a cloud can use the infrastructure resources of other clouds. Howev...

A new data management cloud platform is presented. The platform is to be applied for global air pollution monitoring purposes to assess the pathway of pollutants in the atmosphere. For this purpose a set of interconnected services and tools will be developed and hosted in the JINR cloud.

Delivery of fundamental processing, network and storage resources to users has never been easierthrough IaaS, a cloud computing model that utilizes the internet in order provide with scalable infrastructureon-demand. However, technology is constantly being developed better QoS end consum-ers, so efforts are made optimize every part IaaS make it function even better. This paperprovides an explan...

While the requirements of enterprise and web applications have driven the development of Cloud computing, some of its key features, such as customized environments and rapid elasticity, could also benefit scientific applications. However, neither virtualization techniques nor Cloud-like access to resources is common in scientific computing centers due to the negative perception of the impact th...

Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) is a type of cloud computing in which a thirdparty provider hosts virtualized computing resources over the Internet for executing tasks in the cloud computing. Whenever some VMs are overloaded and some VMs are under loaded, this situation may cause to SLA violation and leads to the reduction of customer satisfaction level and further affects the cloud provider...

The Cloud computing market encompasses an ever-growing number of providers offering a multitude of infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) and platform-as-a-service (PaaS) solutions. In order to exploit the peculiarities of each Cloud solution as well as to optimize performances, availability, and cost, an emergent need is to run and manage multi-Cloud applications [1] (i.e., applications that can e...

Many vendors are offering computing services on subscription basis via Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) model. Users can acquire resources from different providers and get the best of each of them to run their applications. However, deploying applications in multi-cloud environments is a complex task. Therefore, application platforms are needed to help developers to succeed. Aneka is one such...

―Cloud‖ computing – a way to increase the capacity of a network without investing in new infrastructure, training new personnel, or licensing new software. It represents service oriented architecture by offering reduced information technology overheads for the end-user, great flexibility, etc. This paper is a brief survey of cloud computing, various elements of cloud computing security and its ...
