Abstract


The cloud has been an attracting platform for the enterprises to deploy as well as to execute their business. However, clouds do not possess infinite storage resources and infinite computational in its infrastructure. If there is saturation then no new request will be processed. Hence, Inter-Cloud networking is required to provide efficiency, flexibility and scalability by resource sharing between other clouds. The field of Inter-Cloud communication is still a new field although there has been some basic knowledge about it; however the working knowledge about it is still far from reached. In this paper, the aim is to implement the Inter-Cloud communication with the use of another uprising technology called the Software Defined Network (SDN). SDN is a new prototype for the applications to exchange information with the network and to query the Application Programming Interface (API) to gather network information to plan and optimize the operations. A detailed result is presented of the improvements in virtualizing the Inter-Cloud communication improves the overall performance as compared to the current existing Inter-Cloud communication techniques.

Keywords
