Labor-based consolidation operation is flexible to suit different consolidation scenarios, but is easily to become the bottleneck of the whole process.

To solve this problem, this paper proposes a cloud gateway operation system (CGOS). It is an overall cloud services including the front-line devices integration, network establishment, computing and storage resources allocation and the workflow management for consolidation operations.
