The document discusses cloud computing and the challenges of bridging data centers and the cloud. It describes how cloud computing provides benefits like economies of scale, flexibility, and scalability. However, challenges include issues around control, trust, security, availability and data portability between different cloud systems. The document advocates for hybrid cloud and federated cloud solutions that use common standards and APIs to allow interoperability between different cloud systems and resources.

11. The Stack Infrastructure Vs Platform Storage Networking Authentication & ID User Data WAN Optimization P2P Messaging (XMPP) Security (Encryption) Cloud Apps & Services
12. Interoperability & XMPP Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) a set of open XML technologies for presence and real-time communication developed by the Jabber open-source community in 1999, formalized by the IETF in 2002-2004
13. XMPP Strengths Decentralization : The architecture of the XMPP network is similar to email; anyone can run their own XMPP server and there is no central master server. Open and standards compliant Security Flexibility & Extensibility (Extension Protocols XEP)
