  • an act of receiving a file request from the client, the file request including a logical name and a requested file operation, the logical name targeting a targeted node where the requested file operation is to be performed;

    an act of verifying that the client is authorized to perform the requested file operation at the targeted node;

    an act of checking the logical name to determine if targeted node is a compute node or a cloud node;

    an act of determining that the targeted node is a cloud node;

    an act of opening a secure channel to a cloud-based data transfer proxy within the resource cloud, the secure channel opened using a certificate for the resource cloud; and
