Abstraction Layers Simplify Hybrid Cloud Computing

Grazed from TalkinCloud. Author: Mike Vizard.

Almost by definition solution providers are going to be regularly dealing with hybrid cloud computing environments that typically expose different application programing interfaces (APIs) that need to be mastered. In fact, a recent study from CompTIA suggests that customers are already moving workloads not only in an out of clouds, but also between them at a fairly rapid rate.

To facilitate that process, many solution providers already rely on open source software such as the Dasein Cloud project to create an abstraction layer written in Java that enables developers to write applications that work on multiple clouds using a common layer of metadata…
