Network Architecture Under Cloud Eco-systems

Cloud computing is a hot technology of attracting so many eyeballs currently. Before its success, cloud computing has to overcome the service assurance obstacle that customers trust cloud service safe enough to deploy their critical applications upon it. Since devices such as hosts and networks are underlying infrastructures that support cloud computing, this paper demonstrates a S2R(Services mapped To Resources) model between devices and cloud services to solve this obstacle. S2R model leads all resource devices including hosts and networks etc to deliver a FPACS(Fault, Performance, Accounting, Configuration, Security) interface to support up-level scalable service delivery and assurance. The implementation of S2R will help put off customers' doubts about cloud computing and makes future network architecture take a new view under cloud ecosystems.
