Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) assure economic growth in the world. In the main, many SMEs are struggling to survive in an ongoing global recession and are often unwilling to use research results and new technologies for business and learning. Cloud computing provides many opportunities and could help companies expand and improve their business and use technology more resourcefully.

It is used as an alternative to service level agreement (SLA). In this paper, we are going to present a new cloud hybrid method and architecture to improve, the QoS and availability under the cloud computing environment.
