Abstract
A system for exchanging cloud computing resources in a market has a central computer, a client computer, at least one database containing a list of available cloud computing resources and a list of suppliers. Software executes on the central computer for receiving a request for a specific resource from the client computer. The central computer matches the request for a specific resource to the list of available resources. The central computer provides to the client computer a list of available resources that matches the request for a specific resource. The central computer then receives a buy request from a consumer of the specific resource and sends the request to a supplier of the specific resource.
