Abstract

Federation is currently finding a wide argumentation in Cloud Computing. The federation among cloud operators should allow new opportunities and businesses even making the role of SMEs crucial in these new scenarios. In this work, we provide a solution on how to federate Storage Cloud providers, enabling the transparent and dynamic federation among storage suppliers adding new functionalities for end-users. VISION Cloud represents the reference architecture dealing with Storage Clouds, and our work attempts to design a solution applied on VISION, but suitable for any similar architecture.
