In The use of cloud computing has increased rapidly in many organizations. General firms have already adopted the cloud computing and successfully applied to ‘smart working’ for security & remote-services. In addition, government organizations have recently introduced this system, which is gaining more users. There could be a problem regarding service efficiency such as private cloud lacking the capacity or resource for security. In order to solve these temporary difficulties, ways to support H/W resources (cpu, memory, network, etc) are necessary. For this reason, so-called ‘multi-clouds’ is needed to cooperate between simple ‘single cloud’s, providing accessible resources. Unlike the former studies which have regarded ‘single cloud’ as ‘the solution’ for every service and data capacity problem, this paper specifically focused on how to deal with the big data services that cannot be dealt with the that system. Thus this paper displays research on application of ‘rain computing’ which is ‘cloud-of-cloud’, the concept of multi-clouds.
