The research on cloud computing architecture for campus-based networks

Nowadays, the problems exist in campus-based network construction mainly are repeating construction, low utility of resources and so on. Cloud computing, as a new type of services computing which intends to share resources over long distances, provides a good technology reference for campus-based network construction. After an intensive study of the definition and features of cloud computing, the impacts cloud computing will make to the campus-based network construction are analyzed. Then, a cloud computing architecture model for service-oriented campus-based networks is brought forward. In this model, a brief description of every layer is given, which are Physics Resource Layer, Service Constructed Layer, Service Layer, Virtual Service Layer, Converge Layer and Application Layers. In addition, the process of cloud computing service interaction between users and the cloud computing systems is described. The model provides a feasible explore aspect in studying the cloud computing architecture for campus-based networks.
