Inter-cloud Media Storage and Media Cloud Architecture for Inter-cloud Communication

摘要

The rapid increase in digital content, specially multimedia, calls now for standardization of Media Cloud and Inter-Cloud computing, for better provisioning of services. Inter-Cloud computing faces some key challenges in terms of handling multimedia, which are discussed in this paper along with our research status towards their solutions. We also present Inter-Cloud basic architecture and Media Cloud storage design considerations. Some key findings on storage heterogeneity are also part of this paper.
