Abstract
In this chapter we described the concept of multicloud architecture in which locally distributed clouds are combined to provide combined services of locally distributed clouds to the users. We started with basic of cloud computing and reached to multicloud through single cloud. In this chapter have described four architectural models for multicloud. Architecture models are Repetition of applications, Partition of System architecture into layers, Partition of Security features into segments and Distributing of data into fragments with these models security of the data resides in the datacenters of the cloud computing must be increased which leads to reliability in data storing of data.
