SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SERVICE LEVEL BACKUP USING RE-CLOUD NETWORK
First Claim
1. A method of managing service level backup capacity in a cloud-based network, comprising:
- receiving a service level augmentation request from at least one of a set of operating clouds; and
activating resources in at least one backup cloud based on the service level augmentation request to maintain a predetermined level of service in the at least one of the set of operating clouds.

Abstract
Embodiments relate to systems and methods for service level backup using a re-cloud network. A set of operating clouds can support one or more users. In embodiments, the one or more users can accept service based on a service level agreement (SLA), according to which the user is assured a certain level of service or support from the cloud, such as a minimum amount of uptime, a minimum amount of processor cycles or network bandwidth, or other guaranteed parameters of the usage of their virtual machine. In embodiments, the set of operating clouds in which the user'"'"'s service is supported can be configured to communicate a service level augmentation request to a backup cloud to request additional resources to maintain the delivery of one or more SLA-specified support to one or more users. In embodiments, the backup cloud network can in turn be nested with other backup clouds or resources.
