1. A cloud-computing-facility aggregation and application-support subsystem within a multiple cloud-computing-facility aggregation that includes multiple, operationally distinct cloud-computing facilities, the cloud-computing-facility aggregation and application-support sub system comprising:
a cloud-connector server that provides an electronic cloud-aggregation management interface and that is installed within one of the multiple, operationally distinct cloud-computing facilities;
multiple cloud-connector nodes, each single cloud-connector node being a resident within a virtual data center management server within each cloud-computing facility of the multiple cloud-computing-facility aggregation, each cloud-connector node providing an electronic interface through which the cloud-connector server accesses services provided by the cloud-connector node; and
multiple service-provider nodes, each service-provider node installed in a multi-tenant virtual data center within each cloud-computing facility of the multiple cloud-computing-facility aggregation, each service-provider node accessing a cloud-director management interface to obtain information related to tenant-associated virtual data centers provided by a cloud-director and information related to a multi-tenant virtual data center from which the tenant-associated virtual data centers are provided and transmit the obtained information through an electronic interface to the cloud-connector server through a cloud-connector node.
