An Initiative Study on Software Defined Cloud Computing

Abstract

Cloud Computing is the use of hardware and software to deliver a service over a network (typically the Internet). With cloud computing, users can access files and use applications from any device that can access the Internet. An example of a Cloud Computing provider is Google's Gmail. Software-defined networking (SDN) is an architecture that aims to make networks agile and flexible. The goal of SDN is to improve network. Various applications have different requirements. Network conjestion within a data center can cause severe failure for an application. In SDN -enabled clouds it is possible for transferring high priority data over the other traffics in network conjestion by reconfiguring network flows dynamically. SDN and CC have been widely used in research and industrial fields, but widespread acceptance of Software Defined Cloud Computing is hampered due to security threats.This also states the importance of SDCC in two domains resource orchestration and application development. Software Defined Cloud Computing helps to attain a certain level of Quality of Service for an application. We refer to Software-Defined Cloud Computing, or simply Software-Defined Clouds (SDC), as an approach for automating the process of optimal cloud configuration by extending virtualization concept to all resources in a data center.
