Aclome: Agile Cloud Environment Management Platform

With the proliferation of virtualization and cloud related technologies, computing, storage and network resources provided by physical devices are virtualized and integrated into a resource pool. For cloud resources tenants, they can apply these resources for use in a self-service style. The resources applying process is much simpler than ever. However, for the data center administrator, in confronting with the infrastructures cloudified by hypervisors and cloud enabling tools, the data center is becoming much complex and prone to error. In this paper, we propose a hypervisor and cloud neutral agile cloud environment management platform: ACLOME. It aims to simplify and automate the process of dynamic cloud environment management. According to the type of issues related to cloud environment management, there are two kinds of uniform portals provided in ACLOME: Management Center and Business Center. The two kinds of portals aim to solving resources provisioning and management issues of cloud environment management in a more simple and agile way.
