Abstract

A multi-cloud communication system includes a plurality of clouds, each of which has a cloud server and a plurality of servers connected with the cloud server. The cloud server has a service information of the servers. When a first cloud server of a first cloud transmits a request information to a second cloud server of a second cloud, the second cloud server determines a level relationship between the first and second clouds, and acquires a target data from at least a second server of the second cloud according to the request information and the service information. The target data is encoded according to the level relationship, and then transmitted to at least a first server of the first cloud through the second cloud server and the first cloud server. The first server, according to the level relationship, decodes the encoded target data to obtain the target data.

Claims

1. A multi-cloud communication system, comprising:

a plurality of clouds, each of which comprises a cloud server and a plurality of servers connected with the cloud server, wherein the cloud server has a service information of the servers, when a first cloud server of a first cloud transmits a request information to a second cloud server of a second cloud, the second cloud server determines a level relationship between the first and second clouds, and acquires a target data from at least a second server of the second cloud according to the request information and the service information, the target data is encoded according to the level relationship, and then transmitted to at least a first server of the first cloud through the second cloud server and the first cloud server, and the first server, according to the level relationship, decodes to obtain the target data.

2. The multi-cloud communication system as recited in claim 1, wherein the servers include a web server, a file server, a cluster server, a database server, a storage server, a mail server, a printer server, an application program server, an FTP server, or their any combination.

3. The multi-cloud communication system as recited in claim 1, wherein the level relationship indicates that the first cloud and the second cloud are at the same level.

4. The multi-cloud communication system as recited in claim 1, wherein the level relationship indicates that the first cloud is one level superior to the second cloud.

5. The multi-cloud communication system as recited in claim 1, wherein the level relationship indicates that the first cloud is two or more levels superior to the second cloud.

6. The multi-cloud communication system as recited in claim 1, wherein the level relationship indicates that the first cloud is one level inferior to the second cloud.

7. The multi-cloud communication system as recited in claim 1, wherein the level relationship indicates that the first cloud is two or more levels inferior to the second cloud.

8. The multi-cloud communication system as recited in claim 1, wherein the target data is encoded by the second server according to the level relationship of the first cloud relative to the second cloud.

9. The multi-cloud communication system as recited in claim 1, wherein the target data is encoded by the second server according to the level relationship of the first cloud relative to the second cloud, and then encoded by the second cloud server.

10. The multi-cloud communication system as recited in claim 1, wherein the target data includes a tag of the level relationship, a tag of time, or their combination.
