A Stratified Monitoring Model for Hybrid Cloud

Article Preview

Abstract:

Hybrid clouds integrate different cloud solutions. Its inherent complexity and short of standard urge for a careful analysis, systematizing and understanding of monitoring. In this context, this paper provides a deep insight into hybrid cloud monitoring. It proposes a layered monitoring model for hybrid clouds, identifying the multiple layers of monitoring, focusing on physical infrastructure layer, virtual infrastructure layer, network, application/service layer, while combining the perspectives of service providers and clients. This process involves the identification of relevant parameters and metrics for each layer. Due to its flexibiliity and intelligence, using Agent technology, an agent-based monitoring architecture is presented. It enables to eliminate the complexity among different cloud platforms.This study contributes to achieve a clearer and more efficient approach to hybrid cloud monitoring.
