Abstract

In order to enhance the quality of the delivered services, dependency avoidance, and operational costs optimization, the multiple-cloud computing emerged. The complexity of multiple-clouds causes a lot of opacity in the definitions and classifications. This paper attempts to provide an accurate definition of the multiple-clouds and, a classification of the available types based on a set of pre-defined criteria. It also outlines the differences between the terms that have been used to refer to the multiple-cloud computing concept.
