Abstract:
1. A network system for allowing a user control over user's assets in a cloud computing infrastructure, said user having control over most of said cloud computing infrastructure, the system comprising a microprocessor, an input device, a memory, and a control module program, said control module program residing in said memory and said microprocessor being configured to execute said control module program, wherein said network system comprises: a cloud computing infrastructure, said cloud computing infrastructure being made up of a physical and virtual infrastructure, said cloud computing infrastructure further defined by at least one cloud computing infrastructure parameter, said user having control over said physical infrastructure, said virtual infrastructure and said at least one cloud computing infrastructure parameter; a first virtual private network, said first virtual private network configured to connect at least two assets of said user, said first virtual private network designed to overlay the cloud computing infrastructure; a control module, said control module containing said control module program, said control module program capable of allowing for the creation of said first virtual private network; said control module program capable of allowing said user to set at least one virtual private network parameter, said at least one virtual private network parameter defining a behavior of said first virtual private network; said at least one virtual private network parameter comprising one of addressing, security encryption, routing, or enabling multicast protocols, such that said cloud computing infrastructure has no knowledge of information pertaining to the at least one virtual private network parameter, and said user has control over said user's assets based on said behavior of said first virtual private network; and a user defined database, said user defined database containing rules for directing at least one user data around the first virtual private network.
