Abstract
A cloud network for delivering local content to a user at a user location. The cloud network includes a client device comprising a local application, a mid-link server and a cloud provider. The mid-link server receives from the client device a request for local data from the user at the user location. The user has provided the request for the local data from the user location without a data center. A sub-data center for the user location is identified and assigned an Internet Protocol (IP) address for the user location. The sub-data center is a data center nearest to the user location. Each data center has IP addresses for different locations to deliver the local content to the respective IP address for the location. The request is routed to the sub-data center which is used to provide the local data to the user by the cloud provider.
