Researchers predict advent of 'resource-as-a-service' clouds

05.06.2012

Making the RaaS cloud concept a reality will require new types of applications and system software, the researchers state. "In the RaaS cloud, virtual machines never know the precise amount of resources that will be available to them at any given second," they said. "That requires software running in those virtual machines to adapt to changing resource availability and exploit whatever resources the software has, when it has them."
