The support of cloudy and mixed clouds in SmartCloud Entry2.4

With the support of cloudy and hybrid clouds, users can better divide the resources of the cloud and improve efficiency, such as dividing the cloud for testing and the cloud for production.

This article mainly introduces the management of cloudy and mixed clouds, as well as some other characteristics.

What is a cloud?

With the popularity of cloud computing, there are many kinds of definition for cloud, from the scope of application to see a private cloud and public cloud, from the provider to see, foreign Amazon, the domestic Huawei Sina, etc., from the virtual architecture, there are VMware, IBM and so on.

The structure of cloudy and mixed clouds

From the image below, we can see that a SmartCloud Entry manages three heterogeneous clouds at the same time, and there is no limit to the physical location of these three heterogeneous clouds, as long as the network condition is good, which provides a possibility for managing the spread-zone-distributed cloud.
