First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method in a first cloud frame comprising a plurality of hardware nodes, the method comprising:
- the hardware nodes of the first cloud frame conducting communications with each other using only communication channels between the hardware nodes provided by a private communication network;
the first cloud frame forming a cluster of cloud frames by communicating with at least a second cloud frame separate from the first cloud frame, wherein communications between the first and second cloud frames only occur across predefined communication channels interconnected to the private communication network, including;
an application services communication channel for communications between applications running on the first cloud frame and the second cloud frame;
an administrative services communication channel for communications between management services of the first cloud frame and the second cloud frame;
a data management services communication channel for exchanging data between the first cloud frame and the second cloud frame.

Abstract
A cloud frame provides a framework comprising a monitoring and network services to support hardware nodes such as computing nodes and storage nodes. Cloud frames may be organized into a cluster of cloud frames. Hardware nodes in a cloud frame environment may conduct self-allocation of needed resources, which in turn may be provided by other hardware nodes in the cloud frame environment.
