A hybrid cloud for effective retrieval from public cloud services

Abstract

For a hybrid cloud, efficient identity authentication and services retrieval are the two most important issues. Therefore, this paper proposes an architecture for a hybrid cloud that solves these two problems. The services requiring a large amount of resources are designed to be intelligent agents and embedded into a private cloud for applications supported by the Google application engine (GAE). When the users acquire the services from the hybrid cloud, these intelligent agents efficiently authenticate the access rights and retrieve the required services for users. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
