Abstract: The disclosure discloses a cloud service broker, a cloud computing method and a cloud system. The cloud service broker comprises: a cloud service publishing interface module, configured to subscribe to information of cloud computing services and/or resources provided by a plurality of cloud service providers; a cloud service consuming interface module, configured to provide a consuming interface for a cloud service requester to access the cloud service provider; a cloud service processing module, configured to process a cloud service consumer request of the cloud service requester; and a cloud service adapting module, configured to adapt or call, according to cloud service consumer request, cloud computing services and/or resources provided by the cloud service provider. With the disclosure, the effect of facilitating cloud service requesters to use cloud services provided by different cloud service providers is achieved. Furthermore, system resources are saved and the system efficiency is improved.

System and method of brokering cloud computing resources
David Brian Jackson
- 13 Mar 2012
Abstract: System, method, and tangible computer-readable storage media are disclosed for providing a brokering service for compute resources The method includes, at a brokering service, polling a group of separately administered compute environments to identify resource capabilities and information, each compute resource environment including the group of managed nodes for processing workload, receiving a request for compute resources at the brokering service system, the request for compute resources being associated with a service level agreement (SLA) and based on the resource capabilities across the group of compute resource environments, selecting compute resources in one or more of the group of compute resource environments The brokering service system receives workload associated with the request and communicates the workload to the selected resources for processing The brokering services system can aggregate resources for multiple cloud service providers and act as an advocate for or a guarantor of the SLA associated with the workload
