As the full potential of economic and collaborative exchange over the Internet has become clear, Web-based applications and user demand have increased exponentially. Many services now rely on shared infrastructures, called Cloud environments, currently maintained by large service hosting providers. Unfortunately, behind the scenes, Cloud providers are strapped with large administrator costs, costs which consume up to 88% of their budgets, mainly due to server management, power and cooling operational costs. This creates an impediment on the efficiency of this industry, by limiting reinvestment, research and development, and also an environmental problem due to major energy consumption. And demand for flexible, ubiquitous, customizable Cloud access is only going to increase at a steep rate.

随着互联网上经济和协作交换的全部潜力变得明显，基于Web的应用程序和用户需求呈指数级增长。许多服务现在依赖于称为云环境的共享基础设施，目前由大型服务托管提供商维护。不幸的是，在幕后，云提供商面临着巨额的管理成本，这些成本消耗了他们高达88%的预算，主要是由于服务器管理、电力和冷却运营成本。这限制了再投资、研究和开发，对该行业的效率造成了障碍，也是由于主要能源消耗而造成的环境问题。而且，对灵活、无处不在、可定制的云接入的需求只会以陡峭的速度增长。
