White Paper Abstract:
The introduction of publicly shared core services-much like domain name system (DNS) and peering services-into carrier and service provider networks will enable a more loosely coupled relationship between the customer and the cloud provider. Enterprises will be able to choose among service providers, and federated service providers will be able to share service loads. This looser relationship will increase the elasticity of the cloud market and create a single, public, open cloud internetwork: the intercloud.
