Cloud Acceleration solutions are cloud computing products sold to cloud service providers to help them deploy, manage, monitor and secure cloud services for their customers.
The cloud acceleration products offer the following benefits:
– Reduce cloud management overheads
– Increase flexibility when deploying new cloud services
– Consolidate resource pools to minimize costs
– Improve cloud services availability
– Maximize cloud service performance
– Scaling services to meet demand bursts
– Provide better security and management for cloud computing.
The cloud acceleration products feature their own built-in tools, which provide cloud service providers with deep insights into the operational efficiency of: cloud computing certification and resources. The cloud acceleration solutions provide cloud service providers with the ability to collect, compare and analyze statistics from cloud computing resources.
The cloud acceleration products also provide cloud service providers with optimization capabilities that allow them to configure cloud resource settings to maximize cloud computing performance for cloud services.
They automate the configuration and management of cloud resources through a suite of proprietary built-in tools: cloud management automation engines and cloud orchestration engines.
Cloud Management Interface (CMI):
It provides cloud service providers with cloud analytics capabilities for cloud computing resources such as servers, storage, and networks.
CMI runs on virtual appliances or cloud services software installed on the customer’s cloud computing resource to collect data about cloud computing resources.
CMI is designed to run on cloud service provider compute resources, not cloud customer compute resources. This means that cloud customers only have the option to lease the cloud management interface from cloud service providers for cloud services they purchase or subscribe to.
This limits cloud customers’ ability to better understand their cloud resources. CMI’s cloud analytics capabilities include cloud service lifecycle management, cloud resource planning, and cloud provisioning automation.
The cloud management interface uses a set of built-in cloud APIs (application programming interfaces) and cloud batch processing services. These provide cloud service providers with the ability to configure and manage their cloud resources through software applications that they host on cloud computing resources.
Cloud service provider, cloud management interface, built-in cloud APIs, and cloud batch processing services include the following:
– Virtual machine management for cloud computing resources
– Network orchestration for cloud network resources
– Automation of storage facility
– Planning cloud resource usage according to SLAs (Service Level Agreements)
Cloud Service Automation Engine (CSAE):
It provides cloud service providers with cloud orchestration capabilities for cloud computing resources.
The cloud service automation engine has built-in cloud web services hosted on cloud computing resources to automate the delivery, configuration, and management of cloud services for cloud computing resources.
CSAE cloud analytics capabilities include cloud service security automation, cloud software configuration automation, and cloud resource provisioning.
CSAE cloud management interface cloud built-in web services include the following:
– Storage Lifecycle Management for Cloud Storage Resources – Network Lifecycle Management for Cloud Network Resources
– Configuration of operating systems and application servers on virtual machines
– Orchestration of cloud network resources for cloud services
– Delivering cloud computing services according to cloud service level agreements (SLAs)
Cloud Orchestration Engines (COE):
Cloud orchestration engines enable cloud service providers to scale cloud computing resources as needed.
This tool provides cloud service providers with cloud capacity planning and cloud resource provisioning automation for cloud computing resources.
The cloud orchestration engine provides cloud service providers with the ability to configure and manage cloud computing resources through software applications they host on their cloud computing resources. This allows cloud service providers to create their unique cloud management interfaces.
The cloud orchestration engine does the following:
– Provision of cloud computing resources according to cloud service level agreements (SLAs)
– Plan cloud resource usage according to cloud Service Level Agreements (SLAs) – Configure operating systems and application servers on virtual machines
– Orchestration of cloud computing resources for cloud services
– Provision of cloud storage resources
Cloud Compute Resource Lifecycle Management (CCR LM):
CCR LM’s cloud analytics capabilities include lifecycle management of cloud computing resources for virtual machines, cloud network resources, and cloud storage resources.
CCR LM cloud management interfaces cloud embedded web services include the following:
Cloud service delivery automation
– Configuration of cloud computing resources according to cloud service level agreements (SLAs)
– Orchestration of cloud computing, cloud networking and cloud storage resources for cloud services
Cloud Analytics Engine (CAE):
It provides cloud service providers with cloud resource monitoring capabilities. The cloud analytics engine uses web services to monitor cloud computing resources to troubleshoot cloud services.
The cloud analytics engine services include the following:
– Monitoring cloud computing, cloud networks and cloud storage resources for outages
– Troubleshoot cloud services
– Automation of cloud infrastructure capacity
Cloud computing as a model enables ubiquitous, convenient network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources such as networks, servers, storage, applications, and services. These resources can be released quickly with minimal management effort or interaction with the service provider. This cloud acceleration solution model promotes availability and includes five cloud service models: cloud computing, cloud storage, cloud security, cloud analytics, and cloud management.
