System and method for a multi-tenant datacenter with layer 2 interconnection

A datacenter, utilizing Open System Interconnection (OSI) Layer 2 tags to segregate transmission data in Layer 2 Frames, between a plurality of client systems comprising:

• a first datacenter providing a first cloud computing environment having first physical resources and first virtual resources and a network architecture provided by at least one first switch having a first routing map defined at least in part dynamically by one or more routing protocols, the first routing map indicating different OSI frame header tags for each client system;
• and
• a second datacenter providing a second cloud computing environment having second physical resources and second virtual resources, and a network architecture provided by at least one second switch having a second routing map defined at least in part dynamically by one or more routing protocols, the second routing map indicating different OSI frame header tags for each client system, the second data center coupled to the first datacenter by a protocol level other than an Internet Protocol (IP), the different OSI frame header tags permitting isolated frame transmission at a protocol level other than an Internet Protocol (IP) permitting at least two client systems utilizing the coupled first datacenter and second data center to have overlapping network configurations.

A datacenter providing cloud storage for Client Systems (CS), utilizing OSI Layer 2 tags to segregate transmission data between Client Systems (CS) and the datacenter providing cloud storage, comprising:

• a plurality of Client Systems (CS) coupled by at least two devices to a first datacenter each Client System (CS) having a set of infrastructure resources and an initial networking configuration;
• and
• a first cloud computing environment established in the first datacenter, and coupled to the client systems by at least one switch having a routing map defined at least in part dynamically by one or more routing protocols, the routing map indicating different OSI frame header tags for each client system, the first cloud computing environment providing storage resources for allocation to at least two Client Systems (CS), the different OSI frame header tags permitting isolated frame transmission at a protocol level other than an Internet Protocol (IP) such that at least two client systems are permitted to have overlapping network configurations.
