At that time, hybrid cloud technology was in an early stage of development, and only a limited number of mature solutions (private and public clouds) were commercially available. The project conducted a systematic analysis of the principal architectural, operational, and interoperability challenges associated with integrating private and public cloud environments, thus laying a conceptual and technical foundation for the integration of heterogeneous infrastructures to enable flexible, cost-efficient, and secure computing across a wide range of application domains.
The study designed an application-oriented hybrid cloud architecture with modular, extensible components for production use. A unified resource portal was built to monitor and virtualize runtime resources from multiple viewpoints, improving transparency, observability, and manageability. A reflection-based adapter enabled interoperability with diverse existing cloud platforms. The project also developed deployment strategies that balanced cost, performance, data locality, and privacy. Together, these results produced a functional, adaptable hybrid cloud prototype that supported further research and long-term academicāindustrial collaboration.
