The data centers are typically replicated<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>with a few instances on a continent wide scale in semi-autonomous zones. This<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>model has proven quite successful in economically scaling cloud service, but<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>it has some drawbacks. Failure of a zone can lead to service dropout for<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>tenants if the tenants do not replicate their services across zones. Some<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>applications may need finer grained control over network latency than is<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>provided by a connection to a large centralized data center, or may benefit<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>from being able to specify location as a parameter in their deployment.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Nontechnical issues, such as the availability of real estate, power, and<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>bandwidth for a large mega data center, also enter into consideration.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Another model that may be useful in many cases is to have many micro or even<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>nano data centers, interconnected by medium to high bandwidth links, and the<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>ability to manage these data centers and interconnecting links as if they<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>were one larger data center. This distributed cloud model is perhaps a better<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>match for private enterprise clouds, which tend to be smaller than the large,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>public mega data centers, and it also has attractions for public clouds run<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>by telcom carriers which have facilities in geographically diverse locations,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>with power, cooling, and bandwidth already available. It is attractive for<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>mobile operators as well, since it provides a platform on which applications<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>can be deployed and easily managed that could benefit from a tighter coupling<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>to the wireless access network. The two models are not mutually exclusive:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>for instance a public cloud operator with many large data centers distributed<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>internationally could manage its network of data centers like a distributed<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>cloud. The distinguishing characteristic from federated clouds is that the<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>component data centers are more integrated, especially with respect to<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>authentication and authorization, so that the computation, storage, and<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>networking resources are as tightly managed as if they were in a single large<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>data center.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Submissions are single-blind and should not exceed 6 pages in length (in IEEE<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>format).
